Painted Faces have been an absolute joy to create. It is an homage to an idea about painting faces with wild colors. To this end it consists of 70 faces of women. Their faces range from relatively undefined to strikingly beautiful. The images were created in many iterations starting from photographs and evolving in their own way eventually. Then 65 paints flood the canvases of women. Vizagoj, Esperanto for faces, are created like that. Each image a Vizago, a face. The paints are themselves a generative set from my platonic splatter cave wall experimentation. One of the set is a blank canvas, so there is a potential to run in to an unpainted Vizago. All together they make up 4550 alternatives with only 1000 to be minted. Whatever is lost, c'est la vie.. For the rarity inclined, the project in full mint is approximately 65 versions of 70 portraits. However as each version is a unique paint, the difference between each portrait is rather considerable while keeping the overall style intact. Due to randomness factors and only around 22% of the combinations minted, some Vizago and some backgrounds will appear far less than the others. Included in the tally of 1000 are 10 Legendary Editions which are male only and unpainted. They are closely related in texture but they are unique individuals themselves. I have kept 4 Vizagoj for a set of 2 artworks on Async Art both in a Day/Night cycle containing 2 of the Vizagoj. I will mint them in tandem with the Blueprint. While the end result is generative. Each piece of the underlying artwork has been a mix of individual input and generative experimentation. The preparation for this Blueprint started November 2021 with two major touches on March 2022 and May 2022. During the March edit, the image set was fully reviewed. May 2022 version was a major expansion to the underlying set as a new exclusive portraits and some background adjustments with the collaboration of HoT were added. Painted Faces aka Pentritaj Vizagoj are yours to discover. With all my love, Mad Monk ... "Faces I have seen a face with a thousand countenances, and a face that was but a single countenance as if held in a mould. I have seen a face whose sheen I could look through to the ugliness beneath, and a face whose sheen I had to lift to see how beautiful it was. I have seen an old face much lined with nothing, and a smooth face in which all things were graven. I know faces, because I look through the fabric my own eye weaves, and behold the reality beneath." ---Faces by Khalil Gibran
