Unexpected thought
Description
IN perfecti ON The smile — flawless by metal braces. Eyes sealed with luminous Xs, refusing to see or denying sight. Skin like liquid black artificial. Yet the tension leaks through the smile/grin. That fragile line between not being able to see, and not wanting to. A silent rebellion. A feeling that ignore, bypasses the gaze, through appearance, past perfection, beyond control.
Process
This work is born from a reflection on the contemporary human condition, marked by a deep dichotomy. On one hand, it questions the aesthetic of performative perfection, embodied in smiles of almost surreal precision. On the other, it gestures toward a deliberate and provocative form of resistance: the act of preserving one’s integrity and inner truth amid constant, violent, and subtle external pressure. Here, beauty emerges not from flawlessness, but from dissonance and imperfection. The figure embodies this ambiguity. It offers no answers, but holds space for conflict, fracture, and emotional resonance.

Description
Expressions, the human condition, repressed emotions, the inhuman and the human.
Process
This work is an element of my long research on AI men, focused on new forms of human beauty as a new species. This particular piece is part of a set of four portraits dedicated to << exPressions >>. I really enjoy the play on words, as the word 'eXpressions' contains the word 'pression' within it.
