About this work

This drawing shows a woman holding a harp. Her body is made of sharp angles and bold shapes. The colors are flat, like cut-out paper. The artist, Alex Mylona, breaks the figure into geometric blocks. It’s not a normal portrait—more like a puzzle of color. She often worked this way. See how she uses color blocks to build the image. Look up cross-hatching next.
