Fragmented Face #190
Series: The 1000 Faces

In this work, the direct gaze and large black updo create a portrait of calm presence and distinctive character. The curved shapes of the hair contrast with the straight lines of the face, neck, and clothing, creating a balance between softness and geometry.

The face is divided vertically into turquoise and cream. The eyes, one blue and the other coral, introduce a subtle difference that invites the viewer to pause and take in the expression. The nose, defined by an angular line, reinforces the central axis, while the red lips add a small touch of intensity.

The hair takes on an almost sculptural presence: its large, rounded volumes rise and sweep to one side, breaking the symmetry of the composition. The earrings continue this interplay of differences. On the left, a yellow semicircular shape is paired with a coral square; on the other side, an elongated rectangle adds a simple vertical line.

The high collar, divided into cream and blue, connects the face to broad planes of coral, black, and yellow. These shapes spread toward the lower edges and give the composition stability. The background in lavender, cream, and deep blue frames the figure and heightens the contrast between warm and cool colors.

The result is a luminous portrait with a tranquil expression and a touch of mystery, combining the clarity of the drawing with the power of color.

Art Series: The 1000 Faces

The 1000 Faces is a project conceived as a collection of 1,000 numbered original artworks that explores identity and expression through geometric portraiture. Each character finds their uniqueness in their gaze, hairstyle, and the relationships between shapes and colors. The interplay of symmetry and asymmetry, curves and straight lines, warm and cool tones maintains the coherence of the series without diminishing the individuality of each face.
