Description from the seller
Portrait #125 — Series The 1000 Faces
I present Portrait #125, an original work in which I build the masculine face using geometric planes, defined lines, and a balanced combination of warm and cool colors.
The composition is dominated by greens, blues, yellows, oranges, grays, blacks, and cream tones. The large yellow circle behind the head functions as a light element and concentrates attention on the face. The serene, frontal gaze contrasts with the fragmentation of the shapes, creating a firm, reflective, and enigmatic presence.
The suit and the beard are transformed into geometric structures that add verticality and character. Each plane participates in constructing a distinct identity, as if the face were composed of overlapping memories, experiences, and emotions.
This work belongs to my series The 1000 Faces, a project formed by a thousand original and unique portraits. Through this series I explore different identities and ways of representing the human face through color, geometry, and the simplification of forms.
