About this artwork
In this painting, I explore how a face can be both fractured and whole.
The eyes reflect duality—one glowing with fire, the other dissolving into shadow.
I shaped the surface with fabric, tulle, thread, sand, and acrylic on canvas, creating scars, seams, and textures that echo the fragility of memory. The materials become skin, carrying both silence and resilience.
For me, every layer hides and reveals at once. What is broken still speaks. What… is silent still remembers.
This work belongs to my practice of mixed media portraiture, where I merge painting and texture to explore identity, resilience, layered emotions, and contemporary figurative expression.

M. Kara (formerly Müberra Karamanoğlu, also spelled Muberra Karamanoglu) is a Turkish-born artist working between New York and Ankara.Her work centers on layered portraiture, where the figure is treated as a surface—cut, veiled, and transformed through material.
Using burlap, rope, thread, tulle, and fabric collage, Kara builds compositions that shift and interrupt the image. Rooted in personal memory and textile traditions of the Black Sea region, these materials carry both physical and emotional weight.
Through layering, cutting, and stitching, the figure emerges through tension rather than control. Her works exist between visibility and concealment, where identity remains unresolved and in constant flux.
