Graffiti
"Graffiti" by Mandi Murphy - Original Mixed Media Oil Painting 18x 24 inches
This striking mixed media piece from my Wallflower Girls collection features a contemplative female figure in vibrant yellows and golds, melding beautifully into an abstract background of deep teals, blues, and urban-inspired elements. This portrait painting embodies my signature style of blending reality with abstraction - the woman's eyes are obscured by a geometric form, inviting you into a moment of personal reflection rather than confrontation, a hallmark element of my introspective approach to portraiture.
My work combines abstract realism with emotional depth, allowing the figure to simultaneously emerge from and dissolve into the textured background. Created through my unique multi-layered process, this oil painting begins with free-flowing spray paint, inks, and acrylic washes that establish the dynamic backdrop. I then incorporate thoughtful charcoal drawing elements before finishing with rich oil paint that brings depth and luminosity to the composition.
"Graffiti" transforms any space into a meditative environment that inspires daily reflection on our connection to the world around us. The bold color palette adds warmth and energy to contemporary interiors, making this oil painting for sale perfect for collectors who appreciate art that's both visually captivating and emotionally resonant.
Each piece in my collection represents my journey of self-discovery and healing through art, making this not just a beautiful addition to your space, but a testament to the transformative power of creative expression. Like many women in my Wallflower Girls series, this painting invites you to explore what lies beneath the surface and connect with the deeper aspects of yourself.
