In the abstract portrait series Face Off, artists Crtomir Just and Matej Koncan dissolve the human face into something closer to a feeling than a form.

These are not portraits in the traditional sense. Faces shimmer, smear, and reassemble themselves through saturated fields of green, pink, and electric blue.

“Exploring personality in an increasingly alienated world. If AI becomes human, will we be artificial?

Features appear only long enough to be recognized, then slip back into noise, as if the subjects are being rendered in real time by a restless machine.

The project lives in motion as much as in stillness. Short animated loops paired with Koncan’s ambient soundscapes make each portrait feel like a fleeting transmission rather than a fixed image.

Face Off does not ask who these people are. It asks what remains of us when identity is filtered through algorithms, pixels, and light.
