50x50 cm ~ Painting, Acrylic
*Portrait in Bleu* is a visual exploration of introspection and emotion. The central figure, rendered in layered shades of blue, embodies the quiet strength and vulnerability of the human spirit. With closed eyes and a serene expression, the subject invites the viewer to pause and reflect, offering a glimpse into the inner world we often shield from others.
The monochromatic blue palette was chosen to evoke a sense of calm and depth, while also hinting at melancholy. To me, blue is the color of thought—cool, expansive, and profound. The geometric shapes in the background, with their interplay of blue, white, and reddish-brown, provide a structured contrast to the fluidity of the figure. They represent the external world’s complexity, which intersects with our internal experiences.
The abstract, modernist style allowed me to focus on emotion and form rather than strict realism. The draped garment and layered background create a harmony between softness and structure, reflecting the duality of human existence. This painting is more than a portrait; it’s a meditation on solitude, self-awareness, and the beauty found in stillness. *Portrait in Bleu* is an invitation to connect with the unspoken and the unseen.
