Marcel Mendez - Fragmented Face #110, 111, 112 -XL- ( No reserve )

Title: Fragmented Faces #110, #111 and #112
Series: The 1000 Faces
Technique: Acrylic on canvas

This triptych brings together three female portraits with a refined and elegant composition. The figures share a palette of reds, oranges, violets, pinks, cream and black, but each presents its own identity through different hairstyles, positions and facial structures.

In Fragmented Face #110, the face appears divided between reddish tones and cream. The long black hair frames the figure and descends in a sweeping curve that runs through the body, creating a continuous and sculptural silhouette. The violet circular earring introduces a geometric detail, while the broad red area of the garment adds intensity. The background combines violet, coral and pink in large rectangular planes.

Fragmented Face #111 features a frontal figure with short black hair. The face is divided between orange and light violet, with two open eyes directing a tranquil gaze toward the viewer. The long rectangular earring breaks the symmetry of the composition. The black neck and the garment divided between violet and orange prolong the chromatic structure of the background.

In Fragmented Face #112, the figure appears slightly turned to one side. The black hair is gathered into a high bun and the face combines cream, pink and violet. A large circular red earring acts as a focal point. The long black form that runs along the neck and shoulder creates a pronounced diagonal over the coral garment, adding movement to a composition that is especially minimalist.

The relationship between the three pieces is built through the repetition of black lines, divided faces and circular shapes. The warm palette is balanced with dark violets and cream areas, yielding a serene, sophisticated and contemporary whole. Its visual language blends neocubist portraiture, geometric abstraction and hard-edge aesthetics.

Art Series: The 1000 Faces

The 1000 Faces is an artistic project formed by one thousand original, unique and numbered portraits. The series explores the diversity of human identity through a language based on geometry, facial fragmentation and the expressive power of color.

Each character shares a common aesthetic essence, but differs in features, gaze, hairstyle, accessories, clothing and chromatic combinations. No face is repeated: each painting represents a distinct personality within the same visual universe.

The division of the faces symbolizes the multiple facets that make up a person: what we show, what we reserve, and the different versions of ourselves that emerge over time. Variations in gaze, posture and gestures allow each character to express a different attitude and inner state.

In this set, the numbers #110, #111 and #112 form a visual sequence based on calm, elegance and feminine presence. The three works can be viewed separately, but together they enlarge the project’s collective meaning and represent three new identities within the great human archive of The 1000 Faces.
