293_Baroque (2025)Collage
by Manel Villalonga

The image has a collage aesthetic, in which various printed papers and motifs are used to create a stylised figure. The figure is depicted boldly and graphically, with simplified forms and vivid colours. The colour palette is limited to primary colours such as red, blue and black. Particular emphasis is placed on pattern and texture, with damask embellishments on the skirt. The composition is relatively flat, focused on the design elements and not deeply dimensional. The style evokes a modern, graphic version of traditional fashion illustration. The use of different types of paper with unique patterns and colouring highlights the approach to creating a complex composition from simple components, reminiscent of abstract expressionism but using different techniques.
