The series explores the emotional response that arises through the perception of an image.
The portrait extends beyond the traditional perception of the canvas as a confined space, while retaining a recognisable facial expression.
Figurative Abstraction / Abstract Portraiture
In her abstract portraits, Natalia Koromvokis uses direct chromatic juxtapositions, tonal shifts, fragmented passages and negative space to construct recognisable facial expressions without relying on conventional outlines or detailed modelling.
The interaction of these elements is central to her practice: contrasting colours and seemingly disconnected fragments become part of a coherent facial expression, conveying a specific emotional state.
