Layered Portrait: Form, Landscape, and Inner Balance
This painting presents the human head reimagined as a layered composition in sea green and grey-blue, divided into large segments. The shapes feel both geometric and topographical, as if the face is not only an identity, but also a place. Mart Visser explores the boundary between human form and abstract space. His process is physical and intuitive: layers of paint are applied, altered, reworked. The color fields are not flat but lived-in, bearing traces of decisions made, revised, and remembered. In this piece, color plays a leading role, but always in dialogue with structure, material, and the sense of stillness that defines his visual language. Each section reads like a part of a memory, made visible through color and structure. These internal divisions invite slow looking: every plane carries its own weight, its own silence.

Mental peace
The background is composed of a cool grey-blue and warm beige, separated by a calm, horizontal line that evokes a distant horizon. This subtle division provides the work with depth and orientation. The portrait appears to hover between earth and sky, between being and becoming, at once a still moment and a mental landscape. There is a quiet tension here: between clarity and suggestion, contrast and cohesion.
