Portrait with Ears and Shadows (2018)

A bold portrait of a blonde figure wearing what appears to be cat ears or a whimsical hat. The face is stylized with distinct, heavy shadowing in maroon tones across the nose and eyes, giving the expression a depth of mystery or melancholy. The background consists of vertical stripes in teal, pink, and red, which frame the subject and add verticality to the composition. The use of oil paint is particularly evident in the thick, directional strokes that define the hair and the texture of the skin, showcasing the artist’s expressive technique.
