Marcel Mendez - Fragmented Face #175 -XL- ( No reserve )

Fragmented Face #175
Series: The 1000 Faces
Technique: Acrylic on canvas

In this work, a female face with a serene gaze is constructed using planes of color, black lines, and geometric shapes. The slight tilt of the head and elongated neck lend delicacy to a composition defined by contrast and asymmetry.

A long, dark braid runs down the left side, creating a rhythm of curves that contrasts with the angular lines of the face and lapels. The earrings, made up of yellow circles and red semicircles, add small points of light and reinforce the painting’s geometric language.

The palette combines orange-red, deep green, light green, cream, and black. The warm tones bring energy, while the greens balance the composition. This interplay of intensity and calm complements the figure’s expression, conveying a sense of silence, presence, and introspection.

The work maintains an aesthetic inspired by Cubism, with flat colors and defined contours. The shapes in the background interact with the figure, making the face, hair, and clothing part of a single visual structure.

Art Series: The 1000 Faces

The 1000 Faces is a project conceived as a collection of 1,000 original, numbered works that explore human identity and expression through geometric portraiture. Each figure has a personality of its own, expressed through a shared visual language of defined lines, flat colors, and contrasts between warm and cool tones.

The series offers different ways of looking at a face: as a presence, as an emotion, and as an encounter between facets that coexist within the same person. Each painting can be enjoyed on its own while also forming part of a broader visual story.
