Original artwork Textured paint on paper 64 × 90 cm (25 × 35 inches) Unframed One of a kind
This large black and white abstract portrait is constructed from thousands of hand-placed dots. Each mark is applied manually. No automation. No shortcuts.
The surface is built through repetition and control. Structure emerges slowly, through density and restraint. What appears continuous is made from discrete, deliberate actions.
The work reflects on desire and the limits of control — inspired by Emma Bovary in Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. Driven by the need for something more — more feeling, more intensity, more escape — her choices move away from stability and toward impulse. The result is not freedom, but collapse. The structure does not hold. The painting considers that tension: a form held together by restraint, stabilising what the subject could not.
From a distance: stability. Up close: accumulation. Each dot records a decision. Enough controlled marks create clarity.
This textured dot painting creates a tactile surface at scale — suitable as large wall art for a living room, bedroom, or modern interior. A contemporary abstract portrait for collectors who value process, concept, and craft.
