Fragmented Face #189
Series: The 1000 Faces

In this work, a face with a calm, direct gaze is constructed from planes of color, black lines, and geometric shapes. The composition combines a balanced structure with small asymmetrical details that give the figure its personality.

The face is divided between lavender and cream, while a coral plane on the cheek introduces a warm contrast. The eyes, in two shades of blue, establish a direct connection with the viewer. The red lips draw attention to the center of the composition.

A black mane with wavy contours frames the face and contrasts with the precision of the lines defining the nose and eyebrows. The small, light-colored hair clip adds an everyday detail to the portrait’s geometric language.

The earrings feature different combinations: a yellow crescent moon and a lavender circle on one side; a red square and a petroleum-blue rectangle on the other. This asymmetry introduces a visual rhythm that continues in the clothing. The black high collar, crossed by a yellow stripe, connects with the broad diagonals in cream, coral, and vivid blue in the lower part.

The background, arranged in fields of petroleum blue, yellow, cream, and lavender, reinforces the contrast between warm and cool tones. The overall effect conveys calm and presence, with a luminous character and restrained expressiveness.

Art Series: The 1000 Faces

The 1000 Faces is a project conceived as a collection of 1,000 numbered original works that explores identity through geometric portraiture. Each painting features a distinct character, constructed through variations in expression, color, and composition. Contrasts between symmetry and asymmetry, curves and straight lines, warm and cool tones bring the works together in a shared visual universe while preserving the individuality of each face.
