this week I’m thinking about working on the location of the faces and tones that I will use for these faces and start designing if I can place in a linear way, it seems a good idea to put them in line lines as seen in these portraits and cover your face with other type of material as it is an easy paper to break, for that I have been investigating some Latin American artists and I found interesting as Marco Antonio Jimenez Iriarte, who uses their faces with a background very different from the tonalities of the face, the only diferent it is the use of the material that is paper and in my case it is interlining. The first thing is that I must resolve are the tonalities and backgrounds of the faces  rand I think I will put them in group form.   Research https://goo.gl/images/Bs8CFH

My work this semester I focus on creating portraiture. I use painte and drowing techinique to fix the model gaze and try to perserve their dignity. Simultaneaously I make evidente the fragility of their being. The face can represent the human condition. My portraits position the gaze as space of contradiction and ambiguity. The portraits are subjects chose to have emotional, culture and political conflicts. The face work as a mirror that cab interrogate the viewer. In these portraits, I have invested in the power of the gaze. Finding intensity and value in the relationship between viewer and subject. I seek a reaction that create a force of impulse. For the observer to discover the inner, silen look, is to realize the we share a common destiny. A reflection on beauty as fragility with eyes open.
