Power Posing and Glasses presents a poised, self-possessed figure whose gaze is both concealed and amplified through surreal embellishment. Painted in acrylic on canvas, the work plays with identity and perception, using stacked, heart-shaped lenses and a crown of flowers as symbols of confidence, performance, and self-construction.
Firmly rooted in figurative surrealism, the painting juxtaposes fashion imagery with botanical excess. The frontal pose recalls classic portraiture, while the exaggerated accessories push the composition into a contemporary, almost pop-surreal space. The result is an image that feels empowered, ironic, and quietly confrontational.
The colour palette is bold yet controlled: soft yellows form a luminous backdrop, while greens, purples, reds, and pinks energise the surface. Acrylic allows for crisp edges and saturated colour, reinforcing the graphic clarity of the composition. This original artwork is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art and online.
