Mixed Media Portrait on Paper

Striking mixed media painting on paper, signed and dated 86 lower right, presenting an abstracted portrait rendered in bold, geometric forms and rich, blended tones. The face, composed of angular planes in ochre, green, and burnt sienna, is tilted downward in a contemplative or solemn gesture. Her stylized features—closed eyes, strong jawline, and muted expression—convey quiet introspection. The deep red background and the sweeping folds of her dark garment and ruffled white collar evoke both drama and depth. The soft, textured surface—likely achieved with pastels and pencil—adds warmth and nuance. Love the emotional subtlety and cubist form!
