AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fragmented Face # 8
Series: Geometries of Being
Technique: Acrylic on canvas
The work presents a composition of a strongly geometric and contemporary character, where the human face is fragmented into color planes that interact with each other in a tension-filled balance. The figure, meticulously constructed from rectangles, curves, and defined blocks, evokes synthetic cubism with a modern and decorative sensibility. The use of solid black lines acts as the framework supporting this visual structure, contributing a clean and organized aesthetic.
The color palette is a study of contrasts and harmony.
Vibrancy and Depth: Deep blues, intense reds, and vibrant yellows combine to create a dynamic visual rhythm that runs across the entire canvas.
Balance: Neutral tones, greys, and olive greens balance the coldness of geometry, bringing a warmth that humanizes the abstraction of forms.
The face, divided vertically with surgical precision, serves as a metaphor for emotional duality. While one half is constructed with shapes suggesting serenity, the other fragments into more complex blocks that evoke introspection. The single eye, firm and centered, becomes the absolute focal point of the piece, conveying a sense of vigilance and silent reflection that invites the viewer to look inward.
By eliminating superfluous details, the work gains an iconic strength. It is a piece that breathes personality and character, balancing structural rigidity with bold visual language. Its design makes it an ideal piece for modern environments that value art as a form of intellectual dialogue and decorative sophistication.
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.
