Untitled 38 (Woman With Red Hair)

This frontal figure, built from stained-glass geometry and thick, relief-like impasto, turns portraiture into an icon of inner sovereignty—her green face calm and unwavering as the surrounding grays recede into a muted, architectural hush. The vermilion hair and skirt flare like a protective aura, while fractured blocks of turquoise, gold, and violet stitch together a body that feels assembled from memory, tradition, and modern signal. Lantern-like forms and small triangular motifs hover as quiet emblems of guidance, yet the single flower held close becomes the work’s most intimate gesture: tenderness preserved amid a world of edges and partitions. In the tension between hard outlines and luminous color, the painting suggests resilience—identity not as a fixed surface, but as a carefully mosaicked continuity.
