Sommeil paradoxal

This portrait is a representation of a split face, with one half of the face highlighted. This split-face composition adds an interesting dynamic to the work, emphasizing the contrasts and dualities present in human nature. The technique used is impressive, with painstaking detail and skilful use of textures and pen marks. The artist used the technique of collage and mixed media to create this work. Pieces of collage are incorporated into the portrait, adding additional texture and dimension to the whole. The face is mostly in sepia tones, but there is also a sky blue accent on part of the face, creating a striking contrast and bringing a touch of modernity to the work. "Paradoxical Sleep" is a thought-provoking work that invites the viewer to explore the complexities of human identity and emotion. The title itself suggests a state of REM sleep, where dreams and reality intertwine, perhaps reflecting the duality present in the portrait itself. The use of different techniques and visual elements creates a mysterious atmosphere and invites a personal interpretation of the work.
