Portrait Acrylic painting

In Poise, Reem Hassan Sultan offers a striking cubist-inspired portrait that fragments the human face into a mosaic of bold, saturated color fields. Almond-shaped eyes in cool white and pale blue anchor the upper composition, while full, burgundy lips command attention at its centre. Flowing strands rendered in golden yellow and warm auburn suggest cascading hair, framing a face built from flattened, multi-perspective planes in the tradition of modern Cubism.

Heavy black contour lines separate each colour section, lending the work a stained-glass quality, while warm ochres, vivid reds, and burnt oranges play against cool teals, cobalt blue, and soft lavender accents. Visible, expressive brushwork animates every field, giving the surface a tactile, hand-worked texture despite its geometric structure. Tightly cropped and intimate, the composition draws the viewer into direct contact with the figure's gaze and expression. True to its title, Poise radiates quiet confidence, sensuality, and grace—a contemporary reinterpretation of classical portraiture rooted in colour, form, and self-assured elegance.

Reem H. Sultan is an Abu Dhabi-based contemporary painter whose richly textured abstract works explore the fluid intersections of femininity, inner strength, and organic movement. Through a masterfully layered use of oils, acrylics, and resin, she translates the complexities of human emotion into evocative compositions that invite deep introspection while balancing a unique sense of power and calm.
