Mixed Media on Linen, 2021, 36,5 x 30,5 CM

Mart Visser: Intimate Portrait with Contrasting Black Frame
This refined mixed media artwork on linen by Mart Visser (36.5 x 30.5 cm) is a subtle yet striking portrait that invites quiet contemplation. Set against a serene sand-colored background, the face, rendered in layered shades of grey, emerges with understated intensity. The use of mixed media techniques creates a textured surface that enhances the emotional depth of the piece, while the small format draws the viewer in for a closer, more intimate experience. The portrait appears timeless and almost meditative, balanced between presence and absence. What truly sets this work apart is the bold, thick black frame that surrounds it. In sharp contrast to the soft, earthy tones of the background and the monochrome face, the frame functions as both a boundary and a statement, grounding the work and amplifying its quiet strength. Visser’s mastery of form and contrast is on full display here, proving that subtlety can be just as powerful as bold expression.
