Original artwork description:

This watercolor painting depicts an intense portrait that captures the piercing gaze of a female face. The composition stands out for its use of vibrant and fragmented colors, creating a mosaic-like texture and an almost pixelated effect. Warm tones, such as orange and red, blend with cooler shades, like green and blue, emphasizing a strong emotional tension.

The broken lines running across the face seem to represent scars, symbols of inner wounds or past experiences. This detail adds a narrative element, suggesting resilience and strength. The eyes, rendered with great precision, immediately draw attention and appear to look directly at the viewer, conveying a sense of vulnerability but also determination.

The white background gives space to the subject, allowing the colors to emerge in all their intensity. This choice imparts a feeling of suspension, almost isolating the face and its message. The watercolor technique, fluid yet controlled, highlights the artist’s mastery in balancing figurative detail with abstract fragmentation. A work that invites reflection on the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
