Face Is Art: 30 Surreal Faces To Inspire You
Face! It’s what humans express their own expression, happy or sad, excited or angry. It’s also how humans judge one’s beauty like, let’s say, who doesn’t want to have a face like Brad Pitt or Megan Fox, or Gerald Butler, you know, the one who casted king Leonidas in the movie 300.
But hey, does the face only looks beautiful with regular formation, 2 ears, 2 eyes, 1 nose and 1 mouth? Sounds boring, how about a valve on the eye, a mouth which looks like a drawer, or a face that can be flipped like a book? Eww, that will be ugly, but wait, think again after you enjoyed this showcase.
As you might’ve expected, in this showcase there will be absolutely no handsome or beautiful face, but just cool and inspiring face which received serious Photoshop surgery by artists who apparently don’t know what is the limitation of art. You’ve seen all kind of beautiful faces in your life, but now, let these face challenge your view of beauty, have fun!
AB. Pareeerica blends human’s face really well with pretty much anything, this gorgeous one is Alec Baldwin‘s face combined with a wolf. (Image Source: pareeerica)
Anonymous. Perfect blend between the mask and the figure, the naming is just right as the mask also has something to do with the word, anonymous, just it’s quite complicated. (Image Source: RubberSun)
Assembler. What is your face made of? I’m not quite sure, but for sure this piece is made by great artist. (Image Source: Kosmur)
Beaux Arts Magazine Closeup. Very nice idea with extraordinary Photoshop skill, and most importantly it’s unique! (Image Source: WALEE)
Broken Heart. Please don’t do it in front of human, at least in front of me. Utterly chilling and cool manipulation! (Image Source: Leonheart)
Chest Of Drawers. Will the mouth looks beautiful if it’s designed this way? But for sure this piece is beautifully done. (Image Source: adnrey)
C O R E. “About something inside me, what I found, when I cut…” (Image Source: adnrey)
Cover My Face. Looks like the positioning is, may be, wrong? Creative idea done with great manipulation skill. (Image Source: Giuseppe Mastromatteo)

Ghost Of Egypt. The eye of Horus, how magically done. (Image Source: pareeerica)

Parée & Nefertiti Blend. What can I say? It blends perfectly. (Image Source: pareeerica)
Reface. Unique concept and look at the slice… neat! (Image Source: Kosmur)
Refraction. Perfectly photoshopped piece with significant amount of aesthetic, I love this face. (Image Source: adnrey)

Shattering Face. Creative and glamorous effect, there’s also a nice similar manipulation available indeviantArt page. (Image Source: 10Steps)

Vector Composite Face. An unique effect which can be achieved by some fairly basic techniques including clipping masks and displacement maps(Image Source: PSDTuts)
What A “Handsome” Face. “The idea popped up in my mind when pondering about the origin of the word “handsome” ;)
Surprisingly, all my friends interpreted the picture completely differently, ranging from “something reaching out from inside the face” to “teeth” and “shouting” to “hurt”. May I ask you as a viewer to share your initial impressions in a few brief words ?” (Image Source: Lutz Schubert)

Reflection
I must say I had serious fun time doing this, not because these great manipulation works look funny, but I’m pleased with how unsuitable elements can be mixed together to give birth a face that looks awesome, inspiring, and apparently beautiful. I think this is what’s called art, achieve the genuine beauty with elements that just don’t seem to fit!
You think you saw a cool face today on the web? Don’t hesitate to show to us, let’s get inspired together!
