Artwork Summary:
Hidden Identity is an original one-of-one painting by Preston Mitchell that explores the complexity of identity through layered faces and symbolic forms. The composition brings together human and animal features, creating a visual dialogue between instinct, nature, and self.
Bold, earthy colors dominate the surface. Reds, blacks, ochres, and pinks add emotional intensity and depth. Many of the figures have obscured or hollow eyes, reinforcing themes of concealment and anonymity. They are different spirts. Like us all.
The dense arrangement of overlapping faces eliminates negative space. This creates a strong sense of collective presence and psychological weight. Each figure appears distinct, yet none fully reveals itself.
Hidden Identity reflects the idea that identity is not singular. It is fragmented, inherited, and often hidden beneath outward appearances.
