Marcel Mendez - Fragmented Face #159 -XL- ( No reserve )

The 1000 Faces #159
Acrylic on canvas · Original and unique artwork · 2026

In this piece I construct a female portrait using planes of color and defined black lines, following a neocubist language with a hard-edge aesthetic. Orange and blue dominate the composition, accompanied by soft green, cream, yellow, and a deep red.

The face is divided into two halves that maintain a balance between symmetry and contrast. One blue eye holds the gaze, while a black stripe runs across the other and adds mystery to the expression. The red lips and the earrings of different shapes introduce small accents within the geometric structure.

The elongated neck, the two-toned hair, and the shapes of the clothing prolong the fragmentation game. With them I explore how the same identity can gather different emotions and ways of presenting itself.

Art series: The 1000 Faces

This painting is part of my project to create 1000 original numbered works. Each face is an independent exploration of human identity through color, geometry, and expression. The pieces share a visual language, but each has its own personality.

The work is shipped rolled and protected in a tube, without a frame or stretcher.
