Marcel Mendez - Fragmented Face #168 -XL- ( No reserve )

The 1000 Faces #168 – Serene Gaze Original work | Acrylic on canvas | 2026 Description In this work I explore female portraiture through a neocubist composition of geometric shapes, defined lines and color planes that interweave to build a serene figure full of personality. The face, split between soft pinkish tones and ivory, contrasts with the intensity of the black hair and the backgrounds in petrol green and orange-red. The small yellow details of the earrings add luminosity and balance to the composition. The side glance and the calm expression of the figure convey a certain introspection and mystery. I’m interested in that contrast between the strength of the forms and the delicacy of the gestures, creating portraits that, from simplicity, can express different emotions. The painting blends elements of neocubism and the hard-edge style, with clearly delineated color surfaces and a contemporary, clean, balanced composition.
