Faces

Textured Painting – 60 × 40 cm

Faces is a study of human presence distilled into texture, gesture, and contrast. Rather than depicting literal visages, the work captures the imprint of identity through layered acrylics and subtle interplay of lights and darks. Soft forms emerge and dissolve within the surface, suggesting flickers of expression — moments of introspection, vulnerability, and silent dialogue with the viewer. The textured surfaces act not just as background, but as recorded traces of emotion and memory, where each mark becomes a fragment of a face, a fleeting expression caught between recognition and abstraction.

This piece reframes the idea of “face” from physical portraiture to an inner landscape of presence and perception, inviting the observer to complete what is suggested, not shown.
