About this artwork
It is said that a CHARLENE is a unique and beautiful women - it was only fitting to stage a modern woman within dramatic shades of red: fiery, emotional, luxurious and proud. Muted shades from the lightest pink to the darkest burgundy make CHARLENE’s elegant appearance stand out..
The background was inspired by 1960’s jewellery design by Charles Loloma. The inlay in this multi-stone cuff using fragments of Yellow Gold, Coral, Turquoise and Lapis… Lazuli became interwoven into the outfit of the protagonist.
In this piece, I explored the fusion of elegance and vibrant chaos through oil. The figurative portrait anchors the energy, while the semi-abstract, pop-art background wraps her in bold, rhythmic patterns. I wanted to capture a confident spirit, radiating both strength and mystery.
This painting will electrify your space with its dynamic contrasts, inviting a captivating blend of grace and vibrant expression that sparks curiosity and admiration.

British visual artist Bettina Newbery explores the dialogue between figuration and abstraction, placing colour at the centre of her oil-on-canvas practice.
Her portraits capture both physical likeness and emotional depth, using expressive brushwork and vivid colour to evoke moods from quiet vulnerability to guarded reserve.
In her floral imagery, she moves fluidly between abstraction and structure - deconstructing flowers into geometric, crystalline forms, or layering them into rhythmic, immersive patterns. This duality creates a rich visual dialogue between organic subject matter and constructed form.
In works from the Colour x Magic series, such as Refracted Reality, Bettina explores the interplay of colour, light, and perception through prismatic surfaces and subtle Cubist fragmentation, positioning her work within a broader art historical lineage while maintaining a contemporary perspective.
Her clarity of artistic voice and composition define a recognisable style.
