Stylised face in, composed of abstract shapes and subtle areas of colour. The composition plays with contrast and balance between soft textures and powerful lines. The face is composed of fused planes in shades of green-grey, white and deep brown, convincingly rendering the suggestion of eyes, nose and lips with minimal means. The background appears weathered, as if the work has been painted on a wall that bears traces of time and impermanence.
What is remarkable is how the shape of the face partially merges into the background, creating a play between visibility and disappearance. The tight line of the eye contrasts with the fading edges of the cheek and jawline. The mouth, with a subtly built-up shadow, carries an expression of serenity or introspection. The absence of colour in the eyes enhances the sense of introspection.
The asymmetrical composition - with the face placed not centrally but on the right side - gives the work a modern, almost spiritual feel. The abstraction raises questions of identity, presence and silence. The work feels timeless and mysterious, as if it embodies both present and past.
