Description from the seller
Unique original work created in acrylic on canvas.
Born in 1987 in the north of France, Antoine Stevens discovered graffiti during his adolescence before developing a studio painting practice from 2005. His artistic universe sits at the crossroads of street art and contemporary figurative portraiture. Through a free gestural approach, layers of matter, controlled drips and graphic interventions, he composes portraits of great emotional intensity where realism and abstraction meet. His work is today shown in several galleries in France and internationally.
With Maia, Antoine Stevens delivers a striking female portrait where the gentleness of the features contrasts with the energy of the painting gesture. The face emerges gradually from the canvas, bathed in nuances of blue, pink, white and ochre that seem to blend into the material. Long vertical drips, splashes, and graphic interventions add depth and spontaneity to the composition.
The gaze, both intense and melancholic, constitutes the anchor point of the work. The transparency effects and color superpositions create an almost dreamy atmosphere, characteristic of Antoine Stevens’ work. Between classical portrait and contemporary abstraction, Maia testifies to the artist’s technical mastery and his ability to convey an immediate emotion.
