This powerful composition presents a cubist-influenced abstract figurative female form, rendered with bold geometric segmentation and expressive color fields.

The composition evokes the influence of Cubism and modernist expressionism, creating a dynamic and visually layered figure that feels both architectural and organic.

Painted in oil on canvas, the surface shows expressive brushwork and dimensional layering that enhances the sculptural quality of the figure. The painting remains unframed, allowing collectors and interior designers the flexibility to frame it according to their aesthetic or project requirements.

Works by Romeo Tabuena are sought after by collectors of Filipino modern art, postwar modernism, and international abstract figurative painting. This piece would make a dramatic statement in modern interiors, curated art collections, design-driven residences, or gallery settings.

Ideal for collectors and interior designers seeking museum-quality Southeast Asian modernism with strong sculptural presence and color impact.
