Description from the seller
About the artwork
A contemporary female portrait created in a retro-pop aesthetic that is particularly pronounced.
A young woman with a confident gaze appears in the foreground, wearing a white swim cap and vintage swim goggles pulled up on her head. She holds a colorful beach ball while a red-and-white lollipop adds a graphic and offbeat touch to the composition.
The palette, dominated by blues, oranges, reds, and flesh tones, creates a very dynamic contrast. The geometric background reinforces the influence of advertising imagery and pop art, while the treatment of the face preserves a figurative and elegant dimension.
Thus the work plays with several references: feminine glamour, vintage aesthetics, seaside world, and contemporary pop culture.
The composition, very graphic, is particularly suited to a contemporary interior and constitutes a strong decorative piece, immediately recognizable.
