Dissolves the source into pointillist scatter on a pale ground. Warm earth tones of cream rust and burgundy. The figure is readable but barely — features survive as suggestion rather than form.
Portrait of a nude subject with arms up, eye contact, body square, very tight cropping, pointillist fragmentation in cream and burgundy, form hovering at edge of legibility
Warm brown and taupe tones with dramatic rocky stone forms flanking the figure. Painterly and classical in feel. The figure and background feel genuinely integrated.
Portrait of a nude subject with arms up, eye contact, body square, very tight cropping, integrated figure and landscape in warm browns, painterly realism
Cool blue and lavender with rounded stone forms in the background. Softer and more organic than it first appears. The palette runs from ice blue to soft purple.

Warm red-ochre watercolour wash on pale ground. Loose and gestural. The figure feels sketched in colour rather than drawn in line.

Loose fragmented colour patches in blue white and pink on a pale ground. Mosaic-like but free. The fragments scatter across figure and background alike.

Pure monochrome grey with large geometric faceted planes filling the background. The figure is folded into the same angular surface rather than modelled in the round. Precise and cool with no colour anywhere in the image.

Dusty mauve-grey stone texture absorbs the figure into the surface. Body reads as shallow relief rather than figure against background. Cool and permanent — the source becomes architecture.

Stark black corners frame radiating crumpled white planes — crushed paper or foil caught in sharp light. Figure is warm against the high contrast surround. Graphic and dramatic with a strong print-like character. Bold silhouettes read with particular intensity in this style.

Pale ice blue and dark brown in large flat geometric planes — the figure shattered into cool angular fragments. Background dissolves into the same fractured geometry. Stained glass or broken mirror quality throughout. Cool and precise with real graphic authority.
Portrait of a nude subject with arms up, eye contact, body square, very tight cropping, cool cubist shards of ice blue and deep brown with stark stained-glass graphic force
Cool blue and mauve with large rounded petal-like forms filling the background — abstract roses with a crystalline flash. Figure is warm and painterly against the cool floral surround. Soft and romantic but with a sparkling edge. Distinctive and immediately appealing.

Deep crimson and burgundy geometric planes sweep through the background in large bold angular forms. Figure rendered in pale white-grey tones against the rich red surround. Dramatic and saturated — the red commands the image. Architectural but warm-blooded.

Pale blue and cream angular planes fill the background in large airy blocks — bright and open rather than heavy. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the luminous cool ground. Light-filled and confident.
