Mixed Media Technique
This mixed media painting is made from cassette tapes, on which multiple layers of acrylic have been applied using spray paint, brush and markers.
Background
In the background of the painting, the shapes of the tapes can be seen. Most of the labels are colored with spraypaint.
These tapes give a beautiful texture to the painting.
Painting
In this painting Monique experiments with creating an image without using contour lines. The portrait has an open structure, which it slowly disappears into the background. It are the colours that gives some contour to the image. The abstract representation with wavy lines keeps its attention on the elements in face like the nose, eyes and mouth. The mouth has pastel-like areas of color in a pattern to maintain balance and tension in the painting.
Framing
The image area is bordered by a sleek white frame, which provides a modern finish.
