Original artwork description:

The image displays an artistic collage-style approach, combining various elements to create a multi-layered composition. It incorporates digital work alongside traditional collage methods to achieve the final result on canvas. The overall style suggests an interest in deconstruction and reconstruction, common in Dadaism and contemporary art.

The portrait of the woman is the central focal point, rendered in a black and white halftone technique reminiscent of pop art or screen printing. This contrast of the grey scale with the vibrant colours surrounding it immediately captures the viewer's attention. Overlaid on the portrait and other areas are various fragments of text, geometric shapes, and abstract elements. The use of text contributes to the visual complexity and overall layering of the image, while introducing a narrative or thematic element.

The colour palette is diverse and includes warm tones such as orange, yellow and red, along with cooler blues and greens. This combination creates a visually dynamic effect, which helps to define the different areas within the composition. The focus of the composition is asymmetrical.
