More about COQUETTERIE

A highly detailed, colorful, and richly textured abstract painting depicts two distinctly cubist-inspired faces, each rendered in a fragmented and geometric style, facing towards each other across a central vertical divide. The faces are composed of a mosaic of angular shapes, painted in a palette of vibrant primary and secondary colors including red, blue, yellow, green, pink, and brown, with accents of black and white. Both faces feature large, almond-shaped eyes with thick black outlines and pupils, creating a bold, staring gaze. The left face, partially shadowed, shows an ear on its left side and its mouth is a small, horizontally aligned rectangle of light blue. The right face, more brightly illuminated, has a red mouth with exaggerated lips.

The background is also fragmented into geometric shapes,
