Necklace, collage on paper, ink, 50 x 70 cm, 2015

“Necklace” is a unique portrait created using the collage technique on paper, combining ink and striking color compositions. Jolanda Jeklin masterfully juxtaposes a monochromatic face with dynamic, abstract elements, creating a composition full of contrast and emotion. The intense pink lips and deep black around the eyes add drama, emphasizing the expression of the subject. The central element of the artwork is the titular “necklace” – dark, organic shapes wrapping around the neck, symbolizing emotional ties or the strength of identity. The contrasting backgrounds in red, white, and black give the painting depth and a multi-layered character. This contemporary artwork perfectly fits the category of modern portraiture, captivating viewers with its expression and symbolism. An excellent choice for collectors seeking original and intriguing pieces.
