About the artwork
This work depicts a portrait of a woman whose hair is represented by balls of thread glued to the support. The color palette is composed of pinks and reds. The portrait is quite naive in style, but very expressive. The figure seems to be observing something with a certain trepidation. In her works, Astoupé transfigures her youth spent in war-torn African countries, to produce portraits that bear witness to an unusual and profound trial of life.
Expert opinion
