An original portrait created using oil stick, oil colour and wax on canvas. Based in Daphne, Alabama, Austrian artist Barbara Kuebel has shown her work extensively throughout Europe and the US. Inspired by 'awkward social interactions', she creates abstract expressionist figurative portraits rendered as life-sized woodworks that she carves by hand.
I really like this piece for adding a vibrant pop of colour and movement to a space. Its playful, abstract style makes it versatile-perfect for contemporary or eclectic interiors. I’d recommend placing it in a living room or hallway where it can catch the eye and spark conversation. Since the artwork features bold colours and dynamic forms, pairing it with neutral surroundings, such as soft beige or grey walls, helps it stand out without overwhelming the room. For practical styling, consider hanging it at eye level and giving it some space around it so its lively energy isn’t crowded. Overall, it’s a lively and engaging piece that works well as a focal point or an inspiring accent.
