This work is part of a series that explores the human figure through abstraction. Each composition centers on a bust reduced to a silhouette, where the recognizable form of a portrait contains a shifting interior of color, gesture, and layered shapes. The silhouette anchors the work in the language of portraiture while its interior becomes a space for experimentation and emotional expression. Bridging the artist’s earlier practice in portrait painting with a current engagement with abstraction, the figure becomes both subject and structure.
