Description from the seller
Fragmented Face # 7
Series: Geometries of Being
Technique: Acrylic on canvas
A composition with a marked geometric and contemporary character, where the human face is fragmented into color planes that interact with each other with balance and tension. The figure, built from rectangles, curves, and defined blocks, evokes modern Cubism with a current and decorative sensibility.
The color palette combines deep blues, intense reds, vibrant yellows, and neutral tones, creating contrast and visual rhythm. The face, divided vertically, suggests an emotional duality: on one side, serenity; on the other, introspection. The single eye, firm and centered, becomes the focal point of the piece, conveying a sense of vigilance and silent reflection.
Simplified forms and the absence of superfluous details reinforce a clean and structured aesthetic, while warm colors balance the geometric coldness, adding humanity and expression. Framed with sobriety, the piece functions both as an artistic work and a decorative element, ideal for modern spaces seeking personality, character, and a bold visual language.
The canvas is carefully rolled and securely packaged in a sturdy square tube for shipping.
The images you are viewing now are examples of how the artwork might look when framed and hung on a wall.
