22" X 24" Monoprint

Carreiro’s haunting monoprint of a small child and an ambiguously-portrayed face is dark, yet intriguing. The simplicity of color palette allows the viewer to focus on its execution and subject. Carreiro’s craftsmanship is evident in a few stray markings of ink, which adds to the piece’s overall mystery. Despite the more compositionally significant elements to the right of the picture plane, the focus of this piece is the little girl standing alone on the left – her eye contact and expression is especially captivating to the viewer.
