Frozen Contemporary Acrylic Painting by Jasmina Mendoza
Frozen is an original 30 x 30 cm contemporary acrylic painting on canvas by artist Jasmina Mendoza. This textured still life blends expressive abstraction with semi-realistic citrus forms, creating a quiet contrast between cool atmospheric tones and the vivid freshness of lemon and lime.
The background was built in layered stages using beige, burnt sienna, burnt umber, green, red, blue, white, black, metallic blue, and custom blue-green-grey mixtures. Palette-knife application creates a weathered, icy surface filled with subtle shifts of aqua, mint, taupe, grey, and pale blue. Against this muted backdrop, the yellow lemon and green lime become the visual focus, bringing warmth, colour, and life into the composition.
The fruit was developed through complementary underpainting, with purple beneath the yellow lemon and red beneath the green lime, followed by layered shades of yellow and green. This gives the citrus depth, tonal variation, and a more expressive finish.
