About the work
A frontal portrait set against an unbroken cyan field. The sitter meets the viewer without performance — the flat ground removes every clue of place, leaving only presence.
The first canvas of the Chroma Subjects series. Matete worked from a single studio sitting, then spent four months building the skin in translucent layers over an unmodulated cyan ground.
