Original artwork description:

The image presents a mixed media artwork that combines elements of portraiture with collage and abstract design. The style appears contemporary and experimental, with a leaning towards modern aesthetics.
There is some preliminary digital work involved in order to finish the piece manually on MDF board.

The artwork depicts a portrait of a woman, created using a combination of techniques. Various geometric shapes, including circles and triangles in bright colours such as orange, blue and a muted blue-green, are scattered throughout the composition, creating visual interest and breaking up the realism of the portrait.

The colour palette is diverse, incorporating a grey scale for the portrait with touches of vibrant colours in the geometric shapes and aged paper. The texture is rich due to the mixed media approach, with the rough surfaces of the collage elements contrasting with the smoother parts of the face.

The composition uses a central focus on the face, but also embraces an element of randomness due to the overlapping collage elements and the placement of geometric shapes. The overall effect is a juxtaposition of realism and abstraction, creating a unique and modern work of art that combines portraiture with graphic design and collage.
