Moana 

Fernanda Suarez's 'Moana', likely created in the 21st century, immediately strikes us with its vibrant colour palette and balanced composition. The warm hues of Moana's skin and clothing are set against a cool blue backdrop, creating an immediate visual harmony that is pleasing to the eye. The artist employs a strategic use of line and form, from the soft, flowing lines of Moana's hair to the structured geometric shapes in the background. These shapes are stylised versions of waves, hinting at the figure’s connection to the ocean. The textures are rendered with meticulous detail, inviting the viewer to contemplate the materiality of each element. Suarez’s attention to structure and form, particularly in the juxtaposition of organic and geometric elements, challenges conventional notions of representation and invites a dynamic reading of the artwork. By playing with these visual contrasts, Suarez destabilizes fixed meanings and opens up possibilities for an ongoing interpretation of Moana.
