Description
In the portrait “Mirror Mirror”, Joseph Russell presents a mesmerising portrayal of duality and reflection, blending elements of realism, cubism and abstraction. The artwork features two mirrored female figures, seemingly emerging from water, thier soft, expressive faces detailed with striking contrasts of light and shadow. The calm pink background is overlaid with geometric shapes and linear patterns in vivid colours, adding a modern, almost digital texture to the piece.
The composition plays with the idea of identity and introspection, as the two women face each other, their gaze locked in a contemplative exchange. The fragmented geometric elements intersect their faces and bodies, suggesting the complexity of self-perception and the fractured nature of personal reflection. The vibrant yellow circle behind one figure’s head adds a subtle nod to a halo or rising sun, enhancing the emotional depth and symbolism of the piece.
Through the juxtaposition of organic forms and sharp geometric lines, “Mirror Mirror” explores the tension between the natural and the constructed, evoking a modern interpretation of self-awareness and duality in a beautifully composed visual narrative.
