339_Sunlit face (2026) Original Collage by Manel Villalonga

The image is a mixed-media collage with a distinct contemporary art style. Its aesthetic leans towards a graphic and illustrative approach, with elements reminiscent of Pop Art due to the halftone dot pattern used to depict the face. The portrait is fragmented and composed of layers featuring various textures and printed materials, including fragments of text and numerical elements, giving it a layered appearance, almost like a scrapbook.

The colour palette is striking, dominated by a vibrant, warm yellow and a cool, muted blue. These are used in blocks and bold accents, creating a strong visual contrast. Black and white also play an important role, particularly in the linework and halftone rendering of the face, which contributes to the graphic impact.

The technique used is acrylic and photographic transfer on MDF board.
