Face of the Imponderable


Face of the Imponderable Abstract face emerging from warm red, yellow, and black tones, mixed media painting by Ilaria Berenice.

Title: Face of the Imponderable

Year: 2024

Size: 25 x 35 cm

Technique: Mixed media on paper applied on wood

In this abstract portrait, the face emerges with an enigmatic force, shaped by warm shades of red, yellow, and the depth of black. Created freely and spontaneously, the image surfaced without constraints, revealing human features while transcending detail.

This conscious choice opens a space beyond representation — a threshold between portraiture and pure abstraction — inviting the observer to enter a personal, subjective vision.

This work explores the fragile boundary between the ephemeral and the eternal, between the known and the unknown — a reflection of the artist’s own metamorphosis.

Availability: Original work, unique piece.
