Part of Philippe Pasqua’s Untitled series, this work is dominated by a palette of red, brown, and grey. Layered fields of color define the structure of the face, allowing its features to emerge within the tension between clarity and dissolution.

Expressive and unrestrained brushwork not only enhances the sense of volume, but also captures a fleeting emotional state and shifting expression. The work reflects the artist’s acute sensitivity to the inner landscape of human presence.
