#38810 Enrique Bernad

Here we see a portrait of a man rendered in a style characterized by simplified forms and a somewhat flattened perspective. The subject is positioned centrally against a solid blue background, which serves to isolate him and direct attention towards his features.
The artist has employed a limited palette dominated by blues, reds, and greens. The man’s hair and the upper portion of his jacket are painted in shades of green, while his collar and part of his attire are rendered in red. These colors contrast with the cool blue backdrop, creating visual tension and emphasizing the subjects presence.
The man wears glasses, which draw attention to his eyes. His gaze is directed slightly off-center, conveying a sense of introspection or perhaps mild discomfort. The facial features are somewhat stylized; they lack detailed rendering, contributing to an overall impression of psychological depth rather than photographic realism.
Brushstrokes appear visible throughout the composition, adding texture and suggesting a degree of spontaneity in the artists execution. This technique contributes to a feeling that the portrait is not merely a representation but also conveys something about the subject’s inner state or the artist’s perception of him. The signature at the bottom left corner indicates authorship, grounding the work within a specific artistic context.
The overall effect is one of quiet intensity and understated emotion. It suggests a study in character rather than a straightforward depiction of appearance.
