This painting explores a contemporary response to seated female portraits by early twentieth-century painters. Using a fashion image as a starting point, I transform a fleeting photographic moment into a painted work centred on the female figure. Executed in watercolour on paper, the figure adopts an informal, slightly defiant pose, turning towards the viewer with her arm resting across the back of the chair. Built through multiple transparent layers, a visible grid structure remains within the painting, with square forms coexisting with the soft, human features of the figure and strong linear elements still present throughout. This grid reflects an ongoing interest in structure and geometry, informed by architectural thinking and the logic of repetition found in azulejo patterns, here reduced to an exposed structural framework rather than decorative motif. The use of blue and the title both reference historical precedents while repositioning them within a contemporary visual language, where the figure coexists with an exposed underlying structure.
