Ligia Macovei's oil painting presents us with a portrait set against a backdrop of abstract forms in vibrant blues and greens. The composition is strikingly asymmetrical, with the figure positioned to one side, inviting a dynamic interplay between the representational and the abstract. Macovei's brushwork is loose and expressive, a hallmark of modernism, building form and structure with blocks of colour and bold lines, creating a visual rhythm that guides the eye across the canvas. The portrait is softly rendered and captures a certain psychological depth, contrasted by the non-figurative elements which flatten pictorial space. This contrast may reflect post-structuralist ideas about the instability of meaning and the deconstruction of traditional artistic conventions. The artist challenges fixed perspectives, inviting viewers to engage in a constant process of interpretation.
