Abstract Head Contour

by Christian Ovís

‘Abstract Head Contour’ depicts a colourful head in profile, looking to the left. Broad patches of yellow, turquoise, green, red and purple form the cheek and the back of the head. The nose protrudes forwards as a narrow red angle. A round, open shape represents the eye. On the right is a large, spiral-shaped ear. At the top, two curved lines follow the contour of the crown.

The form is partly open and partly filled with variegated coloured areas. Around the mouth, dark and light stripes lie close together. Beneath the chin, a narrow green-yellow band runs downwards. The surfaces have a fine, irregular texture, whilst the edges remain sharp. Shadows on the light grey background lend depth to the features. In particular, the round eye and the large ear contrast with the angular nose and the zigzag lines along the cheek.

This abstract portrait wall art suits a modern interior with graphic accents and bright colours. In a living room, hall or creative workspace, the head can serve as a striking focal point. A minimalist décor allows the various planes to stand out clearly. From a distance, the profile remains recognisable; up close, one can discover the fine textures, layered edges and subtle colour variations. The piece combines geometry with the shape of a human head.
