Female portrait composed of collage-like segments of stony textures and earthy colours. The composition is divided into geometric planes, with the face and body partially merging into a landscape of ochre, loam, granite green and stone white. The face is stylised and timeless, without explicit emotion, giving the image something monumental and archetypal.
What is particularly striking is how the artist suggests that the face is literally carved from rock - as if we are looking at a fossil or a goddess from the earth itself. The fragmentation and structure give the work a layeredness, both visually and symbolically. There seems to be a balance between fragility and permanence: the portrait looks both fragile and indestructible.
The alternation between smooth and rough parts, warm and cool tones, makes this a meditative yet powerful image. The work invites reflection on identity, nature, origins and the traces of time a face can bear without losing strength.
