This abstract portrait-like design uses a dark silhouette against terracotta, cream, ochre and deep navy blocks, with painterly texture and bold, graphic contours.

A stylised face and shoulders appear as a dark silhouette, layered over horizontal colour bands, with textured, brushy patches and slightly distressed edges that add movement across the surface.

The palette blends terracotta and warm ochre with cream and deep navy, framed by strong black shapes for high contrast and a grounded, earthy look.
