Description:

The painting, titled "Maquillage," is a striking work of Abstract Expressionist or Neo-Expressionist portraiture. It uses bold lines and vivid, non-naturalistic colors to convey a sense of a human face or figure, emphasizing the emotional or cosmetic transformation suggested by the title. The style is raw, energetic, and highly textured.

In essence, "maquillage" is an abstract, vibrant head study that uses the expressive qualities of color and line to explore themes of identity, mask, and the intense emotionality behind external appearance.
