Stylised side-view female portrait executed in cool blue tones reminiscent of ice, fog and stillness. The composition stays true to an abstract approach, in which the face subtly emerges from a weathered, textured background. Blue areas form the cheeks, nose and mouth, while deep grey accents provide contrast and contour.
The eye - a curved line without an iris - exudes calm and closedness, adding to the contemplative mood of the work. The lips are slightly pouted but remain neutral, as if hovering between speech and silence. The skin tones merge with the background, creating an almost ethereal effect. The whole suggests introspection and serenity in a rarefied, cool world.
A subtle detail is the way shadows are constructed in the blue; it enhances the sense of depth, while the face remains largely two-dimensional. The asymmetrical placement of the face in the picture plane gives the work a modern, graphic feel.
This work feels like a poetic representation of stillness and stillness, captured in a monochrome palette of blue-grey.
