Split Yet Whole | Contemporary Pop Art Painting by Ilana McBain I Limited Edition I 2026

Split Yet Whole - A Limited Series of contemporary abstract figurative artworks exploring human relationships through organic forms, colour, and psychological space.

You don’t need to be one thing to be whole.This piece is a reflection of difference, contrast, and the quiet power of connection.

I created Split Yet Whole from an ongoing fascination with how we exist as individuals while constantly shaping, and being shaped by others.

Each face is divided. Each part holds its own emotion, memory, and point of view. On their own, they feel incomplete. Together, they make sense. That’s how I see people. That’s how I see connection.

The bold lines and contrasting colours aren’t about separation, they’re about definition. About recognising difference without losing unity. This work speaks to the reality that we are layered, contradictory, and complex, yet still capable of forming something whole, honest, and grounded.

Split Yet Whole is for people who understand that identity isn’t fixed. That connection doesn’t require sameness. And that strength often lives in contrast, not harmony.

This piece brings presence into a space. It holds tension and balance at the same time, a quiet reminder that we don’t need to be one thing to be complete.

Split Yet Whole is for collectors who are drawn to work with emotional intelligence, art that doesn’t decorate a space, but anchors it.
