This work, part of the Influencers de Taberna series, captures a surreal yet intimate moment under the night sky. The central figure, with wide eyes and a small smile, holds a delicate knife—her "navajita" from Albacete—projecting an air of quiet preparedness in solitude. The textured brushstrokes, vivid color palette, and star-filled background emphasize the contrast between vulnerability and self-assurance.
