Martine Jacobs uses existing artworks as a basis to create new artworks. In this case, she has made a collage of Picasso's Mandolin and then colored it with pastel pencils. By applying this technique, she gives her own interpretation to the original cubist work and adds new layers of color and texture.

Her working method is reminiscent of a dialogue with art history, reusing elements from the past and transforming them into something contemporary and unique. This process of deconstruction and recomposition ties in well with the core principles of cubism, in which forms are broken and reordered.
