Fragmented Face #176
Series: The 1000 Faces
Technique: Acrylic on canvas

A female face in profile takes center stage in this composition, where flowing hair curves meet geometric planes and crisp black lines. The subject’s serene expression contrasts with the energy of the colors, creating a warm, distinctive presence.

The face is divided into cream and peach tones, intersected by a blue plane that defines the forehead and nose. The elongated neck continues this play of fragmentation, while the dark hair, built from rounded shapes, frames the figure and adds balance.

The asymmetrical earrings combine circles, triangles, and semicircles in red and yellow. These small details echo the shapes in the clothing, making the accessories an essential part of the composition.

The palette brings together bright yellow, petroleum blue, light blue, orange-red, cream, and black. The large curves in the background complement the subject, while the angles of the clothing introduce a more pronounced rhythm. The result is a Cubist-inspired painting, with flat colors and precise outlines, that conveys vitality without losing the calm of the gaze.

Art Series: The 1000 Faces

The 1000 Faces is a project conceived as a collection of 1,000 numbered original works exploring human identity and expression through geometric portraiture. Each character has a personality of their own, within a shared visual language of crisp 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 one person. Each painting can be enjoyed on its own while also forming part of a broader visual story.
