This artwork is a unique, highly tactile sculptural composition crafted on a modern plastic panel, which gives the entire piece exceptional structural integrity and a distinct contemporary edge. As seen in the detailed, the artist moves completely away from traditional flat canvas, treating the surface as a three-dimensional landscape.
Using a heavy, specialized sculptural medium, the facial features—particularly the vivid red lips and the wide-open blue eye—are literally sculpted onto the panel, creating high-relief elements that cast real shadows depending on the lighting. The face appears to break through a dense, swirling vortex of heavy impasto layers. To further emphasize the theme of breaking barriers, the fine, root-like black branches web across the textured surface and physically spill over onto the contrasting red outer frame. It is an evocative, tactile masterpiece that bridges the gap between fine art painting and modern relief sculpture.
