I began with loose canvas, crumpling it and working with spray paint.

Yellow, pink, turquoise, and violet move across the torso, while the dark ground holds traces of the disturbed surface. The gaze is calmer than the restless color might suggest, leaving the character’s inner life open rather than fixing it into a single expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePessoa, writing as Ricardo Reis, offers a useful companion to this meeting of fragments and presence.
