Sixmik Appraisal

Original Portrait Painting by Sixmik (2010)

This is a large-scale original painting measuring approximately 90 x 70 cm, executed on what appears to be a stretched canvas. The artwork is dated 2010 and attributed to 'Sixmik art'. Stylistically, the piece leans into contemporary street-art-influenced surrealism, featuring a central human figure with a green, spotted complexion reminiscent of reptilian or amphibious skin. The subject wears a large, oversized pink and white wide-brimmed hat that dominates the upper half of the composition. The color palette is vibrant, utilizing a heavy contrast between lime greens, magentas, and deep emerald tones, accented with yellow and blue calligraphic flourishes in the background. The background is richly textured with rhythmic patterns, spheres, and abstract line work that suggests movement and energy. From a physical perspective, the paint application seems to include varied techniques, possibly mixing acrylics or markers to achieve the sharp line work and stippled texture on the skin. The condition appears to be good with consistent color saturation across the surface and no immediately visible tears or flaking, although minor edge wear may exist consistent with its age. The craftsmanship displays a confident hand in both the figurative rendering of the face and the expressive, chaotic geometry of the surrounding environment.
