335_Enigmatic portrait (2026) Original Collage by Manel Villalonga

This work features a mixed-media collage style inspired by contemporary urban art and street culture, blending elements of pop art, graffiti and digital aesthetics. The overall aesthetic is characterised by layered textures, overlapping visual elements and a dynamic, somewhat chaotic composition. The use of intense, contrasting black and white tones, combined with touches of bright colours, creates a striking visual impact reminiscent of street art murals and experimental graphic design.
The colour palette features predominantly monochromatic elements accented with vivid reds, yellows and oranges, which add warmth and intensity, whilst the rough, textured surface suggests a tactile, grainy finish, similar to spray paint or screen-printing techniques. The collage integrates printed motifs, typographic elements and abstract geometric shapes, emphasising a layered and multifaceted approach to visual storytelling. The composition eschews traditional perspective, favouring an abstract and fragmented arrangement that invites the viewer to explore the interconnected visual elements.
