This image shows a face in black and white, but the eyes are covered by three flat, colored squares—red, purple, and teal. The squares overlap slightly, blocking the eyes completely. The background is plain, and the face looks like a photo. The squares feel bold and unexpected, almost like a puzzle piece missing from the face. This style mixes everyday colors with a familiar portrait. If you like this mix of images and colors, check out lithography next.
