Bella 1

$250.00

“Bella 1” is an intimate 12x12 inch mixed media portrait that captures both strength and mystery through layered textures, vibrant color play, and symbolic detail. The composition centers on a female figure, whose gaze is steady and enigmatic, divided between two halves that suggest duality—light and shadow, seen and unseen.

The work is richly layered with oil paint and mixed media elements, including collaged sheet music subtly embedded into the background, abstract mark-making, and translucent washes of blues and violets that evoke depth and emotion. Turquoise and teal circles hover across her skin and the atmosphere around her, adding a surreal, celestial quality. Bold, graphic line work in white, purple, and deep indigo suggests movement and energy, while impasto golden droplets in the background add texture and warmth.

This piece explores themes of self-possession, sound, and soul—reflected not only through the musical notations but through the harmony of fluid brushwork and precision detailing. “Bella 1” invites the viewer into a quiet but powerful emotional space, where beauty is both internal and cosmic.
