Project Overview

This project reinterprets a richly painted portrait as a vector artwork. Darien preserves the pose, expression, clothing, jewelry, and warm palette while rebuilding the image from simplified graphic shapes.

Concept

Preserve the source portrait's cultural character while translating painterly detail into a clear vector language.

Chapter 1

Source Portrait

The painted source establishes the pose, lowered gaze, layered jewelry, floral head covering, and warm gold-and-orange palette.
