Regina
Artist: ASH (Mark R. Watson)
Medium: Mixed Media / Impasto on Canvas
Year: c. 2024
Description
"Regina" is a haunting, highly textured portrait that balances raw, frenetic energy with a quiet, observant presence. The work uses a heavy impasto technique. Thick layers of paint create a tactile, three-dimensional surface that physically builds the subject from the canvas.
The subject has large, expressive eyes and beaded ornaments in her hair. She appears to be a figure caught between worlds, reminiscent of both contemporary street art and ethereal folklore. The palette features a controlled chaos of primary yellows, deep blues, and fiery reds. The paint drips and layers to suggest a state of flux, both containing and releasing.
