'Mid-Century Monopoly' is an exploration of character and colour, built through layers of textured acrylics. I wanted to create a sense of presence, using a bold charcoal figure that anchors the composition against blocks of vibrant, earthy red and olive green. The painting balances structured, mid-century modern geometry with more spontaneous, tactile marks that reward "slow looking." As you move closer, you’ll find scratched lines and thick brushstrokes that give the surface a raw, energetic feel, making it feel less like a static portrait and more like a figure in mid-journey. My work is heavily influenced by the interplay between architecture and identity. For this piece, I drew inspiration from the clean lines and organic palettes of mid-century design, reimagining them as a backdrop for a charismatic, almost tribal figure. Mid-Century Monopoly is my attempt to capture that moment of quiet confidence where order meets gesture.
