The Many Faces

Original Abstract Ink Portraits on Paper


 

Every piece is painted with ink onto high quality paper. Every portrait is created in the moment. No planning or sketches. Ray treats the process of creating his art like a ritual. A practice intended to maintain a flow state throughout the duration of the painting process. Restrictions in supplies are used help force experimentation and creativity. This series of work is a direct result of Ray’s specific process.

The recognition of relation is a central theme in this series, as the human face is the thing that identifies us and connects us to one another. Whether it's the face of a loved one, a celebrity, or a stranger, each face holds its own unique story and expression.

No matter how far you push the distortion, the universal language of the face remains a constant, expressing so much with just a few minimal features.
