Carolina Alonso - "Gijon II"

Title: "Gijon II"

The artwork “Gijon II” shows the impressive portrait of a young woman against a radiant, golden background. Her face is highlighted by a modern pair of sunglasses, in whose reflection the lively city of Gijón is mirrored—a fascinating focal point that lends depth and context to the image. The woman smiles slyly, giving the piece a joyful yet contemplative atmosphere.

Around the central figure are several slogans and lines of text in bold turquoise, red, gold, and copper colors. These typographic elements give the work a dynamic component and invite the viewer to linger and interpret.

The painting was created with oil and acrylic paints on a surface of 80 x 80 x 4 cm. It is stretched onto a canvas on a stretcher frame, which guarantees stability and a high-quality presentation. Both the front and back sides are hand-signed by the artist, and the artwork is delivered with a certificate of authenticity, underscoring its value and authenticity.

“Gijon II” combines classical portrait art with modern elements and urban symbolism—a thrilling piece of contemporary art that impresses both aesthetically and emotionally.

**Artistic work since 2004: A journey through the colors and forms of human life**

Since 2004 I have devoted myself as a freelance artist to creating unique works that move at the interface between contemporary art, street pop art, and photorealism. In my work, different materials such as acrylic and oil are used on wood, glass, or canvas. This mix of materials allows me to express the multifaceted nature of my themes and emotions.

My pictures are not tied to a strict theme; rather, they reflect the diversity of human experiences and ways of life.
