Abstract Head Contour

by Christian Ovís

Abstract Head Contour depicts two open facial profiles facing each other. On the left, yellow, red, pink and dark lines form a head with a prominent nose and a curved chin. On the right, green, blue and brown-red stripes encircle a second face. The noses come close together in the centre. At the bottom, the contours merge into loose neck and shoulder lines against a light grey background.

Above the left-hand face is a broad yellow arch. The right-hand profile features several parallel lines running closely alongside one another. The mouths are depicted as small, undulating shapes. Large open spaces remain visible between and within the faces. Light edges, dark reverse sides and soft shadows lend depth to the lines. The different colour distributions distinguish the two heads, whilst their mutual orientation holds the composition together. The loose ends at the bottom make the form less enclosed.

This abstract portrait wall art suits a modern interior with graphic accents and a calm backdrop. In a living room, hall or creative workspace, the two faces can form a striking focal point. Yellow or green details in the décor can complement the contours. From a distance, the intersection of the profiles stands out; up close, the double lines, small curves and varying colour bands become visible.
