By chance, I cam across this exremely skilled artist on deviantart.com, a community of artists.
Her page is here : http://agnes-cecile.deviantart.com/
I was appalled by her unique artistic style in using arbitrary colours to present a representational forms of the human face, which I am fascinated in as well.
In her works, it is as if every stroke or spot contributed to the very composition and detail of the painting. The seemingly abstract washes and splatters of paint actually gives the viewer freedom to imagine or visualise it as different things such as flowers. This could perhaps draw some link to impressionism as the details are vague and could be interpreted as mere impressions. Since the paint do not seem to take up every inch of the paper, it could be seen to be not fully complete, contributing to the impressionistic style. Moreover, there seems to be a balance between the warm and cool colours that provide a suitable contrast that pleases the eye. Despite the odd use of colours, the forms do not look unrealistic or absurd, instead it gives the artworks a sense of intensity and emotion.
Another connection could be to surrealism as real humans are defnitely not coloured that way and in the third image it is impossible for a bird to be embedded within a person's head.
Apart from that, as shown in the video, the artist does not seem to bother with using a line-art, she simply starts painting and adding on, wowing us with her professionalism and experience. I truly to aspire to attain her level of capability.
