Faded glamour, quiet defiance and something darker beneath the surface: C A P R I is an expressive portrait inspired by the seductive yet self-destructive edge of 1990s counterculture.
Originally painted in oil on paper, the work combines loose, urgent brushstrokes with fractured lines and exposed texture. Chalky skin tones, bleached hair and flashes of red emerge from a restless black background, while the cigarette becomes both a rebellious prop and a symbol of vulnerability.
The subject meets the viewer with an unflinching stare—caught somewhere between confidence and exhaustion, control and collapse. Deliberately raw and unresolved, C A P R I explores the uncomfortable space between image and identity, glamour and damage.
Each museum-quality giclée print is professionally reproduced from the original artwork, preserving its expressive marks, layered colour and imperfect painterly character.
