"Faces we carved", is the title of a known spanish writer newspaper's article. First, i get captured by the attractive title sound. Secondly, when the reading is finished, i get invited to a complex analysis -
interpretation of my [current] face. Very curious.

The author mentioned among other things : how when born, we all have like an "official face", this face has particular features, personal characteristics. Until now everything is clear and easily understood, then it says that is Path of Life which will be in charge to give our faces a final brushstroke, plasming on it the life we've had. Does it mean we are in certain way responsible of the face we have?. Do we built it?. So pay attention with the face you face the world. Pretty curious .
On the other hand, it isn't since that reading that an interest for Portraits appeared, i don't remember when and how it began, to be precise i prefer two of their shapes "Photography" and " Drawings". I think they are a great manner to express artistically someone's profile and to immortalize a human being's essence.
Watching a portrait thoughtfully is more than fun , an opportunity to meet a divine image that's waiting to be decodified, is to figure out details such as personnality, traits, mannerisms; imagine the person's feelings, worries, fears, and all this precious information that form the individual nature of the person.
Definitely, Portraits have a special power . The power that let us go through the subject portrayed's inside, get to know him or her without ever meeting or even crossing a word.
