Portrait of Mrs. M

Portrait of Mrs M (after Tamara de Lempicka)

Angular beauty carved in fractured light,
She smoulders with poise, in shadows and white.
Elegance draped in geometric flame,
A muse reborn in a modernist frame.

This acrylics on canvas work channels the essence of Art Deco and Cubist stylisation, referencing Tamara de Lempicka’s sleek, sculptural forms while pushing into Neo-Cubist abstraction. The faceted composition breaks the figure into dynamic planes of colour, with dramatic contrasts and flowing contours. The piece balances glamour and distortion, modern tribute and original reinvention.
