324_Silent voice (2026) Original Collage by Manel Villalonga

This image features a mixed-media collage style incorporating elements of contemporary portraiture and graphic design. The overall aesthetic leans towards a modern, urban artistic sensibility, influenced by pop art and street art.

The colour palette is bold and high-contrast, dominated by black, white and various shades of blue and orange. Blues are used for the striking circular element above the eye and the dotted pattern on the clothing, whilst vibrant orange is employed for the smaller dots and splashes.

The texture is rich and layered, created by the juxtaposition of different materials, including paper with text and graphic elements, paint splashes and the halftone pattern. The surface treatment is intentionally varied, creating a tactile and visually complex experience.
There is a preliminary digital sketch, followed by the collage being completed by hand on MDF board using acrylics and the transfer technique.
