Guess Who

In Coco’s paintings, the most characteristic is the “faceless” portrait, instead showing recognizable characteristics such as a signature hairstyle, silhouettes, piece of clothing or even accessory, so that the viewer is invited to join a sophisticated game of ‘Guess Who?’.

With the blank space in the facial features, Coco intends to redefine herself and pursuit a sense of ease and comfortable in the process of creation. But at the same time, it also triggered the viewer’s curiosity, investing the paintings with broader imagination. The same picture, in different people’s hearts, already has thousands of states.

Singers, artists, filmmakers, artists, scientists.

Painting diverse subjects such as

“At one moment in my life, each of these people has inspired me. At different stages in my career or personal life they’ve been who I’ve looked up to. Faceless is my tribute to them.” --Coco Dávez
