About the artwork

Faceless is a captivating artistic collection by Philippe Hugonnard, in which the boundary between the real and the imaginary disappears, giving way to a poetic reflection on human identity.
Comprising thirteen portraits of men and women, this series explores the essence of being beyond the visible, seeking to reveal what lies behind appearances. The models, depicted with their eyes closed, embody a state of inner calm, a form of silent meditation in the midst of the tumult of the modern world.
On each face, lively, colourful brushstrokes, applied with energy and spontaneity, alter and sublimate the features. These pictorial interventions, halfway between the instinctive gesture of a painter and the precision of a photographer, deliberately blur visual reference points. They transform each portrait into a hybrid work, oscillating between figurative art and emotional abstraction.
The pastel or bright colours, sometimes metallic, convey universal emotions - joy, modesty, melancholy or rebirth. This fusion of mediums and sensibilities creates a visual and spiritual dialogue between the viewer and the subject, inviting everyone to project their own perception of the human face.
Through Faceless, Philippe Hugonnard has created a deeply aesthetic and introspective series, in which the visible fades away to reveal the invisible: the intimate, fragile and luminous part of the soul.
