AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
"Synthetic Identities – Silent Icon 01"
This work belongs to the series Synthetic Identities, a visual exploration of contemporary identity and its transformation into image.
The subject is a frontal face, suspended between presence and emotional distance. The expression is neutral, almost still, while the color surface explodes into intense and non-natural tones. This contrast creates a visual tension between what we see and what we perceive.
The portrait does not represent a real person, but a construction: a contemporary icon of identity, where color becomes emotion and silence becomes language.
In an era dominated by images, "Silent Icon 01" reflects on how identity is constructed, filtered and made into surface. It is not a psychological portrait, but a visual presence: steady, frontal, synthetic.
The work invites the viewer to question what it means to "be visible" today — and how much of what we see is authentic or simply constructed.
Materials: acrylic colors (Maimeri, Italy), non-toxic
Support: canvas on wooden frame (made in Italy)
Finish: satin protective varnish
Dimensions: 50 × 40 × 1.5 cm
Year: 2026, Italy
Authenticity: certificate of authenticity signed included
Shipping: careful packaging, tracked international shipping
