Although abstract in nature, the representational element is beautifully paired with bold outlines and rich blue hues.

The figure's positioning; one foot crossed over the other creates this captivating and expressive composition. Shapes and lines convey the essence of the subject’s character and emotions, giving it a strong presence.

Please note the thick expressive brush strokes.

The Flemish Renaissance, Mughal portraiture, Classicism and Cubism are primary references for my work. The subject always begins in the representational form with a contrasting background.
