ArtistHybrid visual language between Ashley Wood’s expressive painterly abstraction and Russell Mills’ layered mixed-media textures. Full-body composition of a thirty-year-old woman standing barefoot in profile within a narrow alley of an ancient historic center. Weathered stone walls, aged plaster surfaces, and uneven cobblestones create a tactile, atmospheric environment. Soft natural light filters from above, diffused by the confined architecture, producing gentle gradients and elongated shadows along the alley. The woman wears only a short denim overall with cropped shorts, no shirt underneath. The fabric appears partially realistic yet artistically deconstructed: seams dissolve into gestural brushstrokes, edges fragment into textured marks, and subtle scratches and layered grain integrate the clothing into the environment. Her posture is relaxed and spontaneous, weight resting on one leg, shoulders slightly forward as she blows soap bubbles from a small wand held near her lips. Her hair is styled into a bold mohawk crest dyed in the colors of the rainbow flag, transitioning smoothly through saturated bands of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The crest is rendered through dynamic painterly strokes and ink-like textures, with strands dissolving into expressive color splashes that echo the floating bubbles. The soap bubbles drift outward through the frame, combining realism and abstraction—some sharply reflective, others dissolving into watercolor halos, translucent pigment blooms, and layered textures. Her skin remains anatomically precise yet treated with tonal washes, charcoal shading, and faint collage overlays that merge figure and space. The alley background blends realism with artistic decay: peeling textures, ghosted marks, and atmospheric smudges characteristic of mixed-media layering. Lighting emphasizes mood rather than strict realism, with selective highlights and smoky shadow transitions enhancing depth and emotional resonance. Overall mood: poetic, urban, and quietly rebellious, balancing innocence, identity, and textured expression. Bottom signature, centered, elegant flowing calligraphic handwriting: © Emiliano Girina
A full-body watercolor painting of a slender young woman with a vibrant rainbow-colored mohawk blowing iridescent soap bubbles from an ornate golden bubble wand, standing barefoot in a narrow, sun-drenched alleyway between old, weathered stone and stucco buildings. The woman is depicted in profile, facing left, with her head slightly tilted upwards and her lips pursed as she blows bubbles. Her mohawk is painted in striking hues of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, with paint splatters extending from it onto the lighter background. Her hair on the sides of her head is shaved very short. She is wearing distressed, light blue denim overalls that are torn in several places, revealing her bare sides, shoulders, and legs. On her right thigh, there are two light-colored square patches that appear to be bandages or temporary tattoos, one larger and one smaller. The bubbles she blows are varied in size, catching the light and displaying a spectrum of colors. Smoke or mist emanates from behind her, mingling with the bubbles.
The alleyway is paved with light-colored cobblestones, with shadows cast across them, indicating a bright light source from the right. The walls of the buildings on either side are rendered with
