Description
The face is wide open: the eyes, the mouth, the color spilling from the hair and the skin. This is not a quiet portrait, but an outburst, a short circuit between what a person holds inside and what can no longer be contained. This short circuit gives emotion a physical form: the scream here is not sound, but a mass of color. The viewer is meant to feel the impact, the tension, and the relief all at once.
Expressive figuration; mixed media (oil pastels and acrylic)
