REGARDE-MOI – La Beauté, Painting

Regarde-moi – La Beauté (2020) explores the multiplicity of identity and the different faces we inhabit throughout our lives. The work brings together two distinct yet intimately connected faces, evoking the shifting selves that emerge across the different spheres of our lives: the persona we present to the outside world, the self revealed in intimacy, the identity we assume in professional spaces, and the many others shaped by our relationships, experiences, and circumstances. Rather than presenting these different faces as disguises or contradictions, the work considers them as integral parts of a complex and evolving sense of self. Through the fragmentation and merging of facial features, distinct identities become visually intertwined, creating a figure in which the boundaries between faces remain deliberately fluid. Within this multiplicity, beauty becomes equally fluid, shaped by perception, experience, and the many ways in which we see ourselves and are seen by others. A face. Two faces. Maybe three... sometimes more. Acrylic and oil pastel on Arches paper 240 g/m². Archival quality - acid-free. Dimensions: 76 x 56 cm. Sold unframed.
