‘Portrait Under Interference’

Portrait Under Interference is an original mixed media painting by Camila Hojas that explores psychological fragmentation, internal noise, and the tension between coherence and disruption. Constructed through layered oil paint, collage, handwritten markings, drips, and structural linework, the work presents the figure as something partially assembled, interrupted, and emotionally unstable.

Rather than depicting a complete portrait, the piece investigates identity through fragments; facial features emerge and dissolve beneath systems of interference, visual noise, and overlapping gestures. The composition balances realism with abstraction, creating a sense of tension between intimacy and disconnection.

Executed in black and white, the painting emphasizes contrast, rhythm, and material layering while maintaining a restrained and contemporary visual language. The work is part of Hojas’ ongoing exploration of memory, emotional architecture, and the psychological experience of being internally divided while attempting to remain coherent.
