Profile in Abstraction

In this oil on canvas, Daniel Merino blends abstraction with subtle figurative elements, using cool tones and cubist-inspired shapes to evoke the essence of a woman’s profile while maintaining a dreamlike, emotional atmosphere.

In this oil on canvas, Daniel Merino captures the essence of a woman through his signature technique of abstraction, where the familiar form is fragmented and reimagined. The profile of the woman emerges from the cool tones that dominate the composition, with hints of angular shapes and geometric planes that evoke a sense of movement and emotion, while maintaining a subtle connection to the figure. The use of cubist-inspired elements reflects Merino’s ability to deconstruct reality, allowing the viewer to feel the presence of the woman without being bound by traditional representation. The blending of abstraction and recognizable form creates an evocative atmosphere, allowing space for introspection and emotional resonance within the piece.
