Jacqueline
1998
Manolo Valdés's "Jacqueline" is an oil painting on burlap that exemplifies the Spanish artist's approach to portraiture through bold abstraction and gestural marks. The work demonstrates Valdés's characteristic technique of layering paint directly onto raw burlap, creating a textured surface that emphasizes the materiality of the support itself. Presented in the artist's own frame, the painting reflects Valdés's interest in merging traditional portraiture with modernist abstraction, transforming the subject into a composition of form and color rather than representational likeness.
