Davide D'Alba - Emisfero

This painting depicts the elegant profile of a woman in a minimalist pop-art style. The face is turned to the right, in a contemplative pose: slender fingers brush the lips, as if immersed in thought. The color contrasts are strong and clean: white and black dominate the figure, with sharp shadows that sculpt features and gathered hair.

The most powerful element is the bright red detail: a map of the Americas painted on the face, at the level of the eyes and nose. This mark breaks the monochrome neutrality and becomes the visual centerpiece of the work, evoking themes such as identity, globalization, or belonging to the world.

The neutral, uniform background amplifies the sense of silence and introspection, leaving all attention on the figure. The result is a modern and symbolic image: simple in form, yet rich in meaning, suspended between elegance, reflection, and a global vision.
