Untitled 

Dimitris Mytaras created this untitled portrait using bold strokes and a vibrant palette. The subject, a woman with fiery hair and striking red lips, is set against an intense orange background that amplifies the painting’s emotional resonance. Mytaras employs an expressive style where the rawness of the brushstrokes and the layering of colors create a palpable sense of energy. Notice how the geometric shapes of yellow and green that form her dress contrast with the soft, organic lines of her face and hair. This juxtaposition disrupts traditional portraiture, which often aims for idealized representations. The painting doesn’t settle on one fixed interpretation; instead, it invites us to consider the shifting dynamics between representation and abstraction. The use of semiotic systems of signs—color, shape and form—helps to communicate a complex interplay of emotions. The painting ultimately functions as a site for ongoing interpretation and dialogue.
