Description:
This expressive oil on canvas board, painted in the manner of Pablo Picasso, showcases a striking portrait of a man executed in the artist’s mature style. By this stage in his career, Picasso’s approach to abstraction had evolved into a distinctive visual language, characterized by dynamic forms and a bold interplay of color.

The composition is defined by a rich chromatic palette, where warm hues of deep orange and red contrast harmoniously with cool accents of green and blue. These tonal variations create a sense of depth and movement, amplifying the expressive power of the subject. The stylized facial features, fragmented yet cohesive, reflect Picasso’s mastery of deconstructing and reassembling form to convey emotion and psychological complexity.
