312_Orange silhouette (2025)Collage
by Manel Villalonga

This image features a unique artistic style, combining elements of collage, graphic design, and abstract expressionism. The overall style could be described as mixed media, with a strong emphasis on texture and layering.

The composition features a silhouette in profile, rendered in solid black, suggesting a connection to graphic design. This figure contrasts with a textured background, with cut-out papers creating a visual texture.

The colour palette is deliberately limited, creating a visual impact. The primary colours are a vibrant orange, used for the figure's clothing and scattered circular elements, and a deep black, used for the silhouette. The background is primarily white, with muted tones from the collage papers providing a neutral backdrop. The orange circles appear to float in space, creating visual interest.

The medium is mixed media, a digital first step to finish
the collage on a MDF board. Spray, acrylic and transfer have been used.

The composition is well balanced, with the figure off-centre.
