Fragmented Face #191
Series: The 1000 Faces

In this work, the face is built from planes of color and black lines that combine geometric clarity with expression. The division between cream and turquoise introduces a duality that is also reflected in the gaze: one eye remains open, with an intense yellow iris, while the other closes in a black curve. This contrast suggests a meeting between attention to the outside world and introspection.

The curved shapes surrounding the head, in black, burgundy, blue, and cream, add volume and movement. In contrast, the elongated nose and lavender plane of the cheek introduce angular lines. The red lips draw attention to the center of the face, accompanied by two different earrings: one semicircular and yellow, the other circular and burgundy.

The stylized neck flows into a large yellow-and-black collar that connects the portrait with the diagonals of the clothing. In the background, areas of cream, lavender, orange, and blue extend the play of contrasts. The composition balances the subject’s serenity with the energy of color, inviting viewers to discover relationships between its shapes as they look more closely.

Art Series: The 1000 Faces

The 1000 Faces is a project conceived as a collection of one thousand numbered original works exploring identity and expression through geometric portraiture. Each character develops a personality of their own through gaze, color, and composition. The black lines, defined planes, and contrast between warm and cool tones maintain a visual coherence that unites the series without sacrificing the individuality of each face.
