Portrait No. 5 is an original abstract figurative painting on paper that explores the human presence through layered mark-making and expressive gestural brushwork. Rather than describing a fixed likeness, the composition suggests a figure emerging through shifts in tone, color, line, and surface.

Created with acrylic, gesso and pencil, the work carries a textured, worked surface where areas of erasure and revision remain visible. These layers create a sense of movement and psychological depth, allowing the painting to feel both immediate and resolved.

Muted neutrals and strong tonal contrasts define the composition, giving the figure a fractured but grounded presence. The balance between structure and openness allows the work to hold attention without becoming fixed or literal.

The vertical 18 x 24 format makes this piece well suited for entryways, smaller wall spaces, or as part of a gallery wall. It pairs naturally with other works from the Portrait Series, allowing for a cohesive grouping or diptych installation.

Comparable works from this series are collected in the $900-$1,500 range.
