Face, 2023

130 x 100 cm

oil on canvas


The painting “Face” operates as a visual puzzle, exploring the nature of perception. At first glance, the viewer sees a cascade of luminous, contorted bodies against a stark black background. With sustained attention, these individual figures coalesce to reveal a larger, hidden face. This illusion is a direct metaphor for how we can overlook profound truths that are hidden in plain sight. We often get lost in the distracting details—the individual ‘bodies’ of our daily struggles—and fail to see the greater pattern they form. “Face” argues that clarity and freedom come from a conscious shift in perspective: the ability to see the whole picture, not just its chaotic parts.
