The modernist face is composed of meticulously cut and inlaid stones, each selected for color and contrast.

The composition features coral, red jasper, black marble, turquoise, purple, and blue stones set within a brass matrix, creating a vibrant mosaic surface with subtle hand-painted accents that emphasize the stylized facial features.

Mounted on a geometric stand, the sculpture reads as both art object and decorative statement. Pieces by De Castro are known for their labor-intensive craftsmanship and bold use of natural stone.

A compelling accent for Hollywood Regency, Palm Beach Regency, Postmodern, Brutalist, or eclectic modern interiors, where its color and sculptural presence add visual drama to a console, shelf, or pedestal.
