Mixed Media Abstract Collage work on Canvas

Mixed media collage study on canvas, signed and dated 99 lower right and verso, layering figuration and abstraction in a visually poetic interplay of image and frame. At the center, a stylized nude woman stands confidently under an ochre-toned crescent moon, rendered in saturated greens, yellows, and turquoise. Her figure, outlined with expressive lines and set against shadowy forms, radiates warmth and sensuality. Around this image, a black painted border carries hand-written silver toned text—fragmentary and rhythmic, giving the impression of an inner monologue that frames the act of seeing itself.

Surrounding this central vignette is a geometric composition of translucent bands, gradients, and textured overlays. Earthy beiges and ochres fade into soft turquoise and lavender washes, intersected by precise lines and organic silhouettes. These elements create a layered depth, as if the central image is a painting within a painting—both contained and liberated by the abstract field that holds it. The piece reads as a dialogue between the raw body and the conceptual frame of art. It balances sensual immediacy with reflective structure.
