Dulle: The work is ready to hang with a mounting system in aluminum with a slight offset from the wall (~1 cm) for a high-end contemporary look.

The artwork was created using a contemporary mosaic technique comprised of thousands of carefully assembled images of contemporary art.
High-definition print on plexiglass (PMMA) 5 mm, glossy finish with visual depth and gallery presence.
Entirely made without artificial intelligence: each composition is built, adjusted, and balanced manually by the artist.

Description of the work:
Iconic work of 20th-century Expressionism, Bernard Buffet’s sad clown embodies, in and of itself, a deep tension between appearance and emotion, between a fixed façade and interior melancholy.

With Sad Clown VS Funny Faces, this iconic figure is reinterpreted as a mosaic, composed exclusively of faces captured in exaggerated, almost absurd expressions.
Each fragment reveals grimaces, forced laughter, deliberate distortions — countless micro-scenes where emotion becomes performance.
When assembled, these images recombine the clown’s face, reinforcing the central paradox of the piece: a sadness built from expressions meant to evoke laughter.
The grotesque becomes the raw material of a deeper melancholy.

Printed on plexiglass, the work reveals its full visual richness: depth of contrasts, brilliance of detail, and a contemporary presence that dialogues with the graphic rigor of the original.

From afar: the austere and recognizable silhouette of a frozen clown, almost silent.
Up close: a multitude of deformed faces, oscillating between humor and discomfort, revealing a constant tension between laughter and emotional emptiness.

Each piece is a signed and numbered artwork, produced in a limited edition, affirming its exclusive character and artistic reach.
