Fragmented Face #194
Series: The 1000 Faces

A wide geometric hat takes center stage in this portrait, creating a contrast between the horizontal brim and the verticality of the face and neck. Its turquoise and dark gray planes, topped with blocks of yellow and burgundy, give the figure a sculptural presence.

The face is divided into two surfaces of coral and cream. The direct gaze, with petrol-blue eyes, conveys serenity, while the red lips provide an intense accent at the center of the composition. Black lines define the features precisely, connecting the eyebrows to an elongated, angular nose.

The hair falls on either side in large planes of burgundy and black. The earrings introduce a play of asymmetry: a turquoise circle suspended from a vertical line is paired with a small yellow circle and a cream semicircle. These details echo the hat’s geometric language and add rhythm to the portrait.

The petrol-blue and mustard-yellow lapels frame a central red surface surrounded by cream tones. The background combines coral, cream, and petrol-blue diagonals that extend the figure’s divisions. The composition balances warm and cool colors, broad curves, and straight lines, shaping a character with a calm expression and a strong personality.

Art Series: The 1000 Faces

The 1000 Faces is a project conceived as a collection of one thousand numbered original works that explore identity and expression through geometric portraiture. Each face develops its own personality through its gaze, gesture, and color. The defined planes, black lines, and contrast between warm and cool tones maintain the series’ coherence while allowing for different ways of depicting the human figure.
