Morphology
representationally = representational (transparent) = represent + ation + al + ly
The adverb is formed regularly by adding '-ly' to the adjective 'representational', which itself is transparently built from 'represent' + '-ation' + '-al'.
Etymology
Representationally comes from represent, which is built from re- 'again' and present 'to show'. So in art, to work representationally means 'showing' real people or things rather than making abstract shapes.
