This powerful portrait immediately captures our attention with its raw intensity and fragmented construction. The face, divided into zones of contrasting colour, seems to oscillate between several identities, as if different facets of the being coexisted in a single figure. The piercing blue eyes offer a magnetic depth that contrasts with the roughness of the textures and the deliberate asymmetry of the drawing. There is a tension between strength and fragility, beauty and heartbreak. Here the artist explores the idea of a multiple self, at once fragmented and united, a humanity marked by its contradictions. The intense blue background amplifies the model's presence, isolating this face like a contemporary icon. This painting is not just a portrait: it's a symbolic mirror in which we can all project our own cracks, our singularity, but also our dignity. A work that is both disturbing and profoundly human.
