Abstract Cubist Expresstion Portrait 373 Acrylic

Abstract Cubist Expresstion Portrait 373 Acrylic on Stretched 3D Canvas 24cm x 30cm x 3cm (9.5 inches x 12 inches x 1 inches)

This artwork is panted alla prima, no pencil or charcoal sketching is done, and thick paint is mixed on the canvas, avoiding any mixing on the palette. What this archives is a highly saturated and abstract expressions painting. Far more interesting in texture and colours juxtaposed take and give to the other colour laid next to it.
It's truly exciting to paint which removes any stiffness and academic restrictions with every brush stroke made to count and express the contour of the face breathing live and accidental likeness which was not my priority.
Textured and dramatic play of form, shades, light interact and play to add life and movement, complementing the juxtapositions of shape and form.
Thick and lush paint has a unique dimensional abstract quality.
The sides are painted to complete the view.
