333_Portrait with Red Polka Dots (2026) Original Collage by Manel Villalonga

This mixed-media artwork features a stylised portrait of a woman, predominantly in black and white with vibrant touches of red. The image uses a halftone (dot) technique to depict the face, evoking the style of Pop Art. A large red circle covers the woman’s right eye, adding a bold and jarring element. She wears a red dress with black polka dots, which extends towards the bottom of the composition. The background consists of layers of collage, including fragments of text, dates, doodles and abstract shapes, which add depth and texture to the piece. The colour palette is limited yet striking, combining the contrast of black and white with the intensity of red. The overall atmosphere is both modern and retro, with an enigmatic and eye-catching air.
