Blue Room

Faces are abstractions towards minimalism, where portraits are reduced to dots, lines, and vibrant colours. Although there is no sense of plasticity in the use of space, there is constant energy going back and forth between line and tone colour. The line gives the direction, the attitude and the tilt of the face, whereas the colour adds a variety of cold and warm properties. Sometimes the quality of the line is emphasized by the use of a certain colour, when an acute, bold action of a line is reinforced, sometimes counterbalanced by a certain colour. The interaction between line and colour, gives the faces a definite character with meaningful expression. There is a burlesque note and sense of improvisation in some of them.
