The Rose

This original cubist artwork by Borja Guijarro presents an attractive portrait of a nude woman, implied in a romantic interior setting. The artist employs a stylish palette of muted brown tones and conveys the human form in a simplified, abstracted way which gives the piece a modernist feel. Shading is applied to suggest the effects of light and dark on the figures forms. The figure is depicted in geometric forms of interlocking lines and shapes that are bold and shaded, and this mark making extends to the whole scene. Cubist forms and structural studies create the impression of furniture in a dynamic and interesting way. The subject matter looks graceful and confident which makes this a voguish illustration. The piece is painted in mixed-media on paper, hand signed by the artist and ready to be displayed.
