AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: Fragmented Face #18
Series: Geometries of the Self
Technique: Acrylic on canvas
This painting presents a feminine portrait with a geometric and refined aesthetic, where the figure emerges with serenity against an intense orange background that enhances its presence and warmth. The face, built from clean, well-defined planes, is subtly divided into two halves that converse with one another, suggesting balance and inner duality.
The use of color is sober yet expressive: cream tones in the skin contrast with deep blues, blacks, and earthy reds, creating an elegant and contemporary composition. The half-closed eye conveys a sense of introspection and calm, while the lips, centered and defined, reinforce the overall stability of the composition.
A poetic element interrupts the composition: a small cloud crossing the face at cheek level, introducing a dreamlike and symbolic dimension. This detail softens the strict geometry and suggests thought, memory, or suspended emotion.
The work combines influences of cubism and modern art with a contemporary sensibility, resulting in a quiet, contemplative portrait in which identity is built between form, color, and imagination.
The canvas is carefully rolled up and securely packaged in a sturdy square tube for shipment.
The images you are seeing now are examples of how the artwork can look when it is framed and hung on a wall.
