Maria Titan - Messy Bun

Messy Bun captures a fleeting, unguarded moment — the kind that usually passes unnoticed. A figure caught from behind, hair loosely gathered, posture relaxed. There is no performance here, no posed elegance. Just the soft poetry of being mid-day, mid-thought, mid-life.

Painted on stretched canvas with expressive acrylic and mixed media, the surface holds visible brushwork and subtle texture, echoing the quiet movement within the scene. The painted edges allow the work to be displayed unframed, giving it a contemporary, intimate presence on the wall.

This is a portrait of modern femininity in its most honest form: unpolished, gentle, real. A small work with emotional weight, Messy Bun invites the viewer into a private moment — one that feels familiar, tender, and quietly powerful.
