"Countless faces, one humanity."
FAME FRAME Gallery presents Faces of humanity — an exhibition-competition exploring the endless diversity of human expression and the shared spirit that binds us all.
Across time and culture, artists have turned to the face as a vessel of truth — a surface where identity, memory, and emotion converge. In this exhibition, the portrait becomes revelation. Every brushstroke, every shadow, every digital trace captures the fragile beauty of existence and the complexity of being seen.
Faces of humanity invites creators from around the world to portray what it means to be human today — vulnerable, resilient, connected. Through these works, we glimpse not only individuality but universality, a collective portrait painted by countless perspectives.
This exhibition seeks to remind us that art, like humanity itself, thrives in diversity — and that in every face, we find our own reflection.

Les Fragments de la Force
Huile 80 x 80 cm
France
"Chaque fragment de visage révèle une facette, une émotion, une strate de la force intérieure.
Cette œuvre est une méditation sur la résilience. Elle illustre l'idée que les expériences, même celles qui nous morcellent, ne font qu'ajouter des couches de profondeur et de compréhension à qui nous sommes.
C'est dans l'assemblage de ces fragments que se manifeste la véritable force, celle qui naît de l'acceptation de nos multiples vérités."

Matthias Huebner, Neon scream
Acrylic on Canvas, UV-reactive, 100 * 70 cm
Deutschland
"This painting captures a figure in a raw, explosive moment of emotional rupture. The hyper-realistic scream contrasts with a bright, fractured red background that visually tears the portrait apart. The fragmented left side suggests a self that is breaking open under pressure — a metaphor for the point where internal strain becomes impossible to contain. The work portrays the intensity, vulnerability, and catharsis of a mind pushed to its."

Medium: paper mache, canvas, oil paint
Poland
"This artwork is a reflection of our reality, to show the people we pass by every day and whose faces were just a momentary image in our memory. The artwork also emphasizes the important problem of the game motif in human life. The chessboard and the faces placed on it criticize society, which reduces man to the role of a pawn: anonymous and lonely."

Margo Nacai, Echoes of Identity
Acrylic on canvas
Italy
"This painting presents a distorted human face, rendered in bold, sweeping strokes of deep blue and muted ochre. The eyes are slightly askew, evoking a sense of disquiet and introspection, while fragmented lines suggest how identity can shatter and re-form. It’s a visual meditation on how we carry internal fractures and unspoken emotions, even when our surface appears calm."
