Expressionist portrait done with acrylic and spray paint.
From the photo "Dans tes yeux 11" by Marion Staderoli.
In the jungle of the island of Siberut, in Indonesia, lives the tribe of Mentawais or tribe of "Flower Men".
Face to face with this smoky and flowery woman with a mischievous, almost snide look.
She stares at us with class.
This portrait is part of the series of ethnic portraits with which I try to open people's consciousness to these others, foreigners, living outside the modern society, closer to nature and spirituality.
Here I wanted to stay in a color range of reds and pinks by adding blues and greenish blues to contrast and highlight the reds. The whole thing is enhanced with pure whites.
