DescriptionVertical composition of abstract forms in white. Background is marked by a line that runs from top to near center. Foreground appears like a second sheet of paper that has folded in on itself, creating an organic line from top right of composition to near bottom left and a triangle shape that points toward the bottom right corner.eMuseum Notes
Portal’s white-on-white work is a departure from her earlier symbolic and figurative work. These commanding and elegant compositions are based on the artist’s dreams of her native Cuba.
