"Golden Girl" is a bold and striking work that fuses sensuality, glamour, and physical power into a single compelling image. The painting features a confident woman dressed in a Western-inspired outfit — a cropped top with gold lettering, a classic cowboy hat, and a minimalistic bikini bottom with gold accents. Her pose is both relaxed and commanding, embodying an archetype: the fierce, self-possessed female figure.
The most eye-catching element is the richly textured background, layered with gold paint that creates a shimmering, almost baroque intensity. This golden chaos contrasts with the warm flesh tones and deep shadows that Willem renders with masterful control. Vibrant blue and turquoise highlights contour the figure’s body, giving the impression that she is glowing — as if illuminated from within or against a moving, energetic backdrop.
The woman's expression is seductive but far from submissive. Instead, she exudes control, confronting the viewer with directness and strength. There’s an unmistakable feminist undertone here — a sensual body portrayed without apology, yet imbued with power rather than passivity.
