About the Item

A face reduced to its coordinates. This colored pencil drawing constructs a figure from sharp angles, inclined planes, and almost geometric hollows. The eye becomes a triangle, the torso a trapezoid. The head, off-center, floats in a field of signs—diamonds, chevrons, horizontal bars—as if the world followed the same logic of abstraction. The artist works by subtraction. Nothing is detailed. Everything is measured. The composition evokes the aesthetics of the Bauhaus or Paul Klee: a minimal figuration, where color serves as structure. The pale green background acts like a mental grid, a landscape replaced by a series of lines of poetic code. The portrait suggests a rhythm rather than a narrative. The face becomes a place of passage, a pattern traversed by light and form. It seems as if thought seeks to emerge, but remains contained, suspended in geometry. As if the soul, instead of incarnating, chose to remain a trace - a surface inhabited in the silence between two lines.
