Baby Blue Mauri is my latest gel plate portrait featuring my lovely cousin Maurita. This piece is part of a growing collection I have been creating in her honor, each capturing a different aspect of her calm and radiant presence. For this particular portrait, I was drawn to the soft and soothing tone of baby blue, which felt like a natural match for her personality. The process was intuitive and free flowing, allowing the image to reveal itself in layers as I worked with the textures and color contrasts.
The background in this piece plays a powerful role, with a dark and rich red that adds depth and balance to the lightness of the baby blue. It brings a subtle intensity to an otherwise casual portrait, drawing the eye and inviting a closer look. This combination of colors gave me the space to experiment with mood and energy while keeping the overall tone relaxed and expressive. I will be sharing more portraits in this series soon, so keep an eye on upcoming posts for further glimpses into this evolving project.
