Description from the seller

Fragmented Face #192
Series: The 1000 Faces

In this work, the portrait combines recognizable features with purely geometric forms. The face is divided between turquoise and cream, while the gaze introduces its most distinctive contrast: an almond-shaped blue eye coexists with a black circle with an orange center. This asymmetry gives the character an enigmatic expression and creates a play between figuration and abstraction.

A large spiral form, built from blue and black surfaces around a cream-colored core, dominates the upper part of the composition. Its movement contrasts with the verticality of the nose and elongated neck. The small triangular plane on the forehead and the orange lips add warm accents that connect the face to the background.

The earrings reinforce the balance between different elements: a yellow bar and semicircle on one side, and a burgundy circular shape on the other. The wide collar of the garment, in cream and burgundy, gives way to a blue surface crossed by a light diagonal and a black stripe.

The orange background intensifies the portrait’s cool tones, while the cream areas offer visual relief. The black lines link each plane and maintain a defined composition, where curves, circles, and diagonals create a distinctive personality.
