A striking modern oil painting by multi-award winning female artist Denisa Mansfield, that blends Art Deco elegance with a modern Cubism and technique unique to Mansfield's methods, creating a geometric portrait that challenges traditional representations of masculinity. This new age style invented by Mansfield, called Cubist Impressionism. The subject is rendered in bold, classy shades—deep reds, golden yellows, black and vibrant blues—each plane of the face and body defined by sharp and curved, angular forms. The impasto technique adds a tactile depth, with thick, expressive brush strokes that suggest the complexity beneath the surface.
 
This painting explores the multifaceted nature of identity, asking what truly defines a man. The fragmented yet cohesive composition reflects the idea that no single perspective or attribute can encapsulate a person. The bold geometry conveys strength and stability, while the textured layers hint at the emotional and psychological depth within. Through its dynamic interplay of form and color, 'The Measure of a Man' invites viewers to contemplate the diverse elements that compose human character.
 
An eclectic statement piece that is eye-catching and a conversation starter, suitable for modern and traditional home settings. Comes in a bespoke fitted wooden frame, ready to hang.
 
Cubist Impressionism is a bold and innovative art movement invented  by Denisa Mansfield, that harmonizes the fluid brushwork and atmospheric depth of Impressionism with the structured, fragmented aesthetics of Cubism. This new age style explores dynamic perspectives by integrating Impressionist techniques such as expressive brush strokes and impasto textures with the geometric abstraction pioneered by Mansfield, inspired by artists like Picasso, Juan Gris, and Ismael Nery. Melding the emotive qualities of Impressionism with the intellectual rigor of Cubism, Cubist Impressionism reimagines form, light, and colour as interwoven layers of meaning. This new art form offers a fresh lens through which viewers can experience the interplay of reality and abstraction, creating a deeply resonant and visually arresting narrative in every piece.
