About this Product
This artwork features a striking and abstract representation of a dog, named "Holly," captured through fragmented shapes and a textured, geometric style. The dog’s form is partially visible, its face peeking out from layers of colorful, crumpled paper-like textures. The use of soft, earthy tones such as browns, oranges, and muted greens, combined with hints of blue and purple, creates a warm, almost cubist-like interpretation of the figure.
The dog’s face is expressive, with subtle details in the eyes and muzzle that stand out amidst the chaotic composition. The textures and jagged lines give the piece a sense of depth and movement, as though the dog is emerging from an abstract landscape made of paper folds and crinkled fabric.
The colors blend in an almost painterly fashion, providing a sense of softness and warmth while maintaining an abstract, stylized edge. This visual complexity invites the viewer to focus not just on the dog itself but also on the interplay between form, color, and texture, making the image both captivating and emotionally evocative. The piece feels both serene and dynamic, offering a unique way of interpreting the dog’s presence and personality.

How it’s Made
. Base Composition
The artist likely started with a sketch or outline of the dog, focusing on its facial features and key elements, such as the eyes and snout. This sketch would serve as the foundation for the fragmented and abstract shapes.
The abstract layout was planned to ensure the dog’s face remained recognizable while incorporating stylized, crumpled-paper textures and color blocks.
2. Fragmented Shapes and Texturing
The crumpled, folded appearance of the paper-like textures was likely created using digital brushes that mimic rough, tactile textures. These shapes were applied to the dog’s form and background, giving the piece its dynamic and layered quality.
The geometric, jagged shapes around the dog were likely drawn with a vector tool or freehand with the digital stylus, and were filled with various colors to create a cubist-inspired effect.
3. Color Blocking and Shading
Color blocking was used to break the dog’s form into vibrant, angular sections using earthy tones like browns, oranges, and greens. Additional colors like blue and purple were added to enhance depth and add visual contrast.
Shading was applied to these color blocks using soft gradients or painted layers to give the image a more textured, painterly feel.
4. Detailing the Face
The eyes, nose, and snout were given more detailed attention, using finer brushes or digital pens to add contrast and definition. The face was kept softer compared to the surrounding fragmented shapes to maintain the focus on the dog's expression.
Highlights and shadows were added subtly to enhance the three-dimensional quality of the face while keeping the overall abstract style intact.
5. Final Adjustments
After the basic structure was complete, the artist likely refined the piece by adjusting the contrast, saturation, and brightness to make the colors pop and ensure the textures remained vibrant.
The textured background and abstract lines were further smoothed or sharpened to integrate them seamlessly with the dog’s form, ensuring a balanced composition.
Tools and Software Likely Used:
Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, or Illustrator for drawing, coloring, and texturing.
Custom Digital Brushes to create the paper-like textures and fragmented shapes.
Blending Modes and Layer Masks to integrate colors and textures seamlessly.
Vector Tools for creating sharp geometric shapes or outlines.
This artwork combines abstract design with digital painting techniques, giving it a unique, dynamic visual style. The interplay between color, texture, and form reflects a blend of both traditional and modern artistic approaches, resulting in a captivating and expressive portrait of the dog.
