Marta upside-down

This captivating artwork features a unique dual portrait of a young woman positioned against contrasting backgrounds. The left side showcases her upside down, clad in a vibrant yellow hoodie and distressed blue jeans, with a playful pink background. The right side presents her in a more conventional stance, facing forward, adorned in the same outfit but against a soft blue backdrop, which enhances her relaxed demeanor. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the realistic portrayal of the subject's facial features, hair, and the texture of her clothing, creating a striking visual impact. The juxtaposition of the two perspectives invites viewers to explore themes of identity and perception.
This painting would be an excellent addition to modern living spaces, such as a contemporary apartment or a vibrant studio. It can act as a focal point in a lounge or bedroom, appealing to those who appreciate art that resonates with youth culture and individuality. Placing it near neutral furnishings will allow its striking colors to stand out, creating a lively atmosphere.

Oil on linen 30x40x2cm (11.8x15.7x0.8in) 2023, ready to hang. “Marta upside-down” is a painting of the series “small figures”. Here you can see the image of a girl reflected upside-down on the left half of the artwork. The painting can be either hanged with the pink Marta up or the blue one up. It is fun to see how they dialogue while hanged on the house’s walls. The girl painted on the pink background wears mustache: this is the only difference between the two figures, which were painted separetly but using the same picture as sample. “Marta upside-down” is a 30x40x2cm oil on linen artwork, painted in my studio during the month of October, 2023.
