Vivien
Vivien is a vibrant, emotionally rich portrait that blends realism with bold, pop-art surrealism. The young girl at the center is divided into two contrasting color worlds: the left side painted in cool greens and blues, the right in warm yellows and oranges. This split palette creates a striking sense of duality light and shadow, calm and joy, introspection and radiance.
Her bright blue eyes unify both halves, giving the piece a sense of innocence and clarity. The textured grey background pushes the figure forward, emphasizing the expressive colorwork. Her pink shirt, patterned with large lavender stars, adds playfulness and anchors the composition in childhood charm.
The hair, flowing in painterly strokes, mirrors the split-color theme: deep greens and purples on one side, golden yellows and oranges on the other. The result is a portrait that feels alive with movement, personality, and emotional depth.
Vivien celebrates the multifaceted nature of a child curious, joyful, complex, and full of luminous energy captured through bold color theory and a confident painterly hand.
