A4_10232546 Portrait

£25.00

A4 picture in a 30×40 cm white mount (Frame NOT included).

This image is a portrait executed in a mixed media style, likely incorporating pastel, charcoal, or crayon due to the visible texture and layering of colors.

  • Subject: The central focus is a person, likely a young individual, depicted in a close-up, slightly tilted view. The gaze is direct and intense, looking straight out at the viewer.

  • Style: The style is expressionistic and abstract. It is not a literal, photographic rendering; instead, it uses bold, gestural marks and non-naturalistic colors to convey mood and character.

  • Color Palette: The dominant colors are earthy browns and oranges, which provide a warm background, contrasted sharply with cool blues and teal used on the hair and face. This juxtaposition of warm and cool tones adds depth and dynamism.

  • Technique:

    • The face is fragmented by fields of color, such as the blue patch on the forehead, suggesting an internal or emotional landscape rather than just external appearance.

    • The clothing (a jacket or collar) is indicated by distinct, dark, diagonal stripes, adding a pattern element that contrasts with the softer textures of the hair and background.

    • A bold, aqua-blue outline defines parts of the figure, separating it from the background and acting as a strong graphic element.

  • Composition: The figure fills much of the canvas space, creating an intimate yet powerful connection with the viewer. The overall presentation is a framed print, with a wide white mat and a black frame, which modernizes and formalizes the artwork.

The portrait evokes a sense of melancholy, introspection, or deep emotion due to the serious expression and the striking use of color and shadow. The way the colors overlay and interact suggests layers of identity or feeling.
