Description:
This artwork is part of the series Faces of TikTok, a body of work that transforms found images from social media into painted portraits. The fragmented face, divided by vertical planes and subtle distortions, reflects the complexity of identity in the digital age. Rather than portraying a specific individual, the work explores how online platforms shape self-representation, perception, and emotional exposure.
The use of intense pinks, reds, and muted shadows creates a psychological atmosphere charged with tension and vulnerability. Visual displacements suggest multiple layers of consciousness and the instability between inner experience and outward image. The painting invites viewers to reconsider the contemporary portrait not as a fixed likeness, but as a shifting construction influenced by repetition, performance, and constant visibility.
