Original artwork description
The image displays an artistic style that is a blend of collage, mixed media, and portraiture, with elements of graphic design. The overall style has a modern, urban aesthetic. A halftone effect, similar to techniques found in pop art or graphic novels, is used to create the black-and-white portrait. This technique, combined with the use of a limited colour palette of black, white, and orange-yellow, gives the work a striking visual contrast.
The portrait is constructed with halftone dots, while splashes of paint and newspaper texture are also integrated, indicating the use of mixed media.
The composition focuses on the portrait of a person, divided vertically with the left half in black and the right half in white, and a splash of orange-yellow with black dots below the portrait. The artist's use of collage elements, such as newspaper with visible text, adds layers of texture and meaning to the work. There is a digital part of the process to finish the work on canvas, using acrylic paint on a collage and the transfer technique. The image is reminiscent of pop art or street art, with its bold graphic approach and use of non-traditional materials.
