Geometric Reflections
The "Geometric Reflections" collection by Sephora Venites is a compelling exploration of identity through Bauhaus-inspired geometric abstraction. Each piece harmoniously blends sharp lines, bold shapes, and textured layers to create evocative portraits that straddle the line between the abstract and the figurative. This series serves as both a literal and metaphorical reflection on the fragmented, ever-evolving nature of selfhood.
The collection invites viewers to contemplate how structure and spontaneity coexist in shaping our identities. By blurring the boundaries between order and chaos, personal and universal, each composition becomes a mirror of human complexity. "Geometric Reflections" is more than a visual experience; it's an exploration of the ways we project, construct, and redefine ourselves in an increasingly fluid world.
“Facets Aligned”
In “Facets Aligned,” angular blocks of color—soft blues, bold reds, and warm yellows—form a mosaic-like portrait across the subject’s face and upper torso. Multiple eyes and lips overlap in a slightly surreal arrangement, each feature occupying its own layered plane. Rounded arcs suggest hair and ear shapes, contrasting against the clean, rectangular frames that outline other facial elements. The crisp white collar adds a polished, almost uniform-like aspect, while pops of bright color at the buttons and earring echo the vibrant hues of the facial fragments. The result is a playful yet introspective collage, combining smooth painterly shading with flat, puzzle-like geometry.
Drawing from Cubist fragmentation and the sharp color divisions reminiscent of Bauhaus design, “Facets Aligned” marries the expressive freedom of early 20th-century avant-garde with a sleek, contemporary finish. Elements of collage-like layering nod to Dada experimentation, updated here through refined, fashion-oriented details and sculptural shading.
At its core, “Facets Aligned” explores how we reconcile disparate aspects of identity into a coherent sense of self. Each layer, be it an extra eye or a partially repeated mouth, stands for a facet of thought, emotion, or experience. By stacking and realigning these layers, the portrait highlights our innate complexity. Yet, the subject’s calm gaze and neatly composed appearance suggest that, beneath this layered multiplicity, we can find a stable, unified presence—an enduring self amid constant transformation.
Geometric Reflections
Exploring Identity Through Shape, Form, and Abstraction.
"Geometric Reflections" is a captivating art collection that delves into the intersection of abstraction, form, and identity, bridging the tangible and the ethereal. Inspired by Bauhaus principles and the cosmic language of geometry, this series uses bold shapes, vibrant colors as frequencies, and textured backgrounds to create face-like compositions that oscillate between the abstract and the figurative. Each piece serves as a portal into the fragmented yet intentional construction of selfhood, inviting viewers to reflect on how identity is shaped by structure, spontaneity, and unseen forces.
The collection moves beyond visual artistry to embrace deeper narratives of interconnection and communication. The use of circles and angular forms reflects the cyclical nature of time and space, while the interplay of contrasting colors symbolizes the harmony of frequencies that connect dimensions. Inspired by advanced intelligences and the unseen signals of the universe, Geometric Reflections transforms each canvas into a dialogue—a resonant conversation between the known and the unknown.
Through sharp angles, dynamic contrasts, and intricate layers, Geometric Reflections balances simplicity with complexity, challenging viewers to reimagine the essence of existence. It is a visual and philosophical exploration of selfhood in a world of shifting paradigms, where the self is not fixed but continuously deconstructed and reassembled. With every line and shape, these works encourage us to embrace the beauty of transformation, the power of universal connection, and the infinite potential of the human spirit as part of a larger cosmic narrative.
Artist Statement
"Geometric Reflections" represents my exploration of identity as a construct—both deliberate and fragmented. Inspired by Bauhaus design, I use geometric forms to create abstract portraits that challenge traditional notions of the self.
Through this series, I aim to capture the tension between order and chaos, individuality and universality, and the evolving nature of existence. Each piece serves as a meditation on how we define, shape, and reflect ourselves in a constantly shifting world.
"The Eye of Duality"
This artwork stands as a bold testament to the marriage of geometry and philosophy, an ode to abstraction that bridges the rigid mathematical precision of Constructivism with the emotional resonance of Modernist color theories. Dominated by primary colors—red, yellow, and blue—the composition creates a dynamic interplay of opposites: warm versus cool, light versus dark, the organic versus the artificial.
The central feature of the piece, a single, watchful eye peering from within a sharp triangular structure, evokes themes of surveillance, awareness, and introspection. The triangle ascends from a dark, grounding base, its apex intersecting a red circular plane. This juxtaposition of angularity and roundness recalls the tension between the masculine and the feminine, the rational and the intuitive. The geometric segmentation of the background reinforces the idea of compartmentalization, yet the eye’s piercing gaze refuses to be confined, asserting individuality amid structure.
At its core, "The Eye of Duality" engages with the dual nature of perception. Drawing from Cartesian philosophy, the artwork interrogates the divide between the objective and the subjective. While the black triangle might symbolize reason—rooted in logic and science—the eye confronts this rigidity with a personal, emotive viewpoint. The artwork poses the question: is what we perceive defined by objective reality, or is it shaped by our inner psyche?
Further, the circular red element could be read as a nod to Nietzsche’s eternal recurrence—a cyclical return of experiences—and its intersection with the triangle alludes to a clash between linear progress and cyclical inevitability. The sparse use of color amplifies this existential dialogue, inviting viewers to ponder their own role in constructing meaning.
This piece draws heavily on the Bauhaus color principles, where primary colors serve as the purest expressions of form. Red, placed prominently, commands attention, symbolizing vitality and action. Yellow, juxtaposed against blue, suggests both hope and melancholy, oscillating between optimism and introspection. The deep black triangle anchors the composition, embodying an unyielding force that contrasts with the fluidity of the surrounding shapes.
The minimalist use of shapes and colors echoes the legacy of Suprematism, particularly in its reduction to basic forms to communicate universal truths. It also recalls the visual economy of Mondrian’s Neoplasticism, yet diverges in its inclusion of an almost surreal focal point: the eye. This departure signifies a break from pure abstraction, introducing a human element that bridges the impersonal and the intimate.
The artwork invites viewers to grapple with their own perspectives, asking whether they align with the grounded rationality of the triangle or the expansive potential of the red circle. The eye—both a literal and metaphorical window—challenges us to explore the act of seeing itself: what lies beneath the surface of appearances? How do we reconcile the parts of ourselves that are fragmented, much like the segmented forms of this composition?
Ultimately, "The Eye of Duality" stands as a visual meditation on balance and opposition, its sharp geometric forms containing layers of emotional and intellectual depth. It reflects the endless tension between the known and the unknowable, a piece that both comforts and disturbs in its quest for equilibrium.
Color Theory Influence:
The vibrant primary hues are masterfully counterbalanced by neutral tones, adhering to Josef Albers' principles of interaction of color.

"Fragmented Archetype"
This piece captures the duality of simplicity and complexity, where bold geometric shapes—circles, triangles, and rectangles—converge to form a face-like portrait. It exists in a liminal space between abstraction and figuration, blurring the lines of interpretation. The textured, distressed background serves as a reminder of imperfection and erosion, juxtaposed against the precision of the geometric forms. The result is a portrait that feels both timeless and strikingly modern.
Philosophically, this artwork reflects a paradigm shift in how we perceive identity and meaning. The face—constructed through abstraction—challenges the viewer to reconcile individuality with universal archetypes. It speaks to the fragmented nature of the modern self: we are simultaneously defined by sharp, deliberate edges (our decisions, roles, and actions) and shaped by the unpredictable texture of our environment and experiences.
The duality of abstract and figurative elements suggests a broader commentary on perception. Do we recognize the face because we impose patterns upon it, or because it inherently holds a resemblance to the human form? This interplay mirrors how we interpret the world—balancing what is real and tangible with what is imagined or abstract.
Ultimately, the piece invites us to consider identity as a dynamic construct: structured yet fluid, individual yet collective, solid yet textured by time and circumstance. It is a reflection of how we adapt and shift within the paradigms of art, culture, and self-awareness.
