This work arises from the meeting of contemporary art, material research, and lighting technology. The portrait takes shape through a dense network of small holes made on a synthetic glass panel, which, thanks to their arrangement and density, create the varying tones of white, returning depth, detail and expressive intensity to the face.

The surface, seemingly minimalist, transforms into a three-dimensional composition in which every single point contributes to building the image. The contrast between the black background and the brightness of the microperforations generates a refined visual effect, capable of changing perception depending on the angle and lighting conditions.

The perimeter lighting, 4000 K COB LED, enhances the drawing and creates a luminous halo that frames the portrait, accentuating its contemporary character and minimalist aesthetics. The light becomes an integral part of the work, highlighting the dialogue between fullness and emptiness, matter and transparency, shadow and brightness.

With its dimensions of 51 × 51 cm and its essential structure, the work presents itself as a striking artistic element, balancing portrait, luminous installation, and technical experimentation.

A work that transforms a simple ensemble of microperforations into an image rich in character, where light does not merely illuminate the subject, but helps define its artistic identity.
