ABOUT THE WORK
The figure turns away from the center, held in a partial profile that resists direct engagement. The face is flattened by color, separating expression from realism and reducing it to a surface condition.
Paint overrides the photograph. The skin, shirt, and hands are redefined through bold tonal blocks, shifting the image from observation to construction. The gesture of the hands remains, but its meaning is carried by contrast rather than detail.
The work is produced through a layered process: a photograph is printed, painted with acrylic and gesso, and reprinted, binding the original image with its transformation.
