“BEHOLDING” by Henry Asencio. A face is more than just a physical manifestation of genetics or biology. It is the facade that masks the mind and the soul. It is soft and beautiful, it is fragile and powerful. One’s face can tell countless stories. Henry Asencio’s “Beholding” is a quiet and sensual portrait of self-examination and reflection.

Through style and composition, the artist takes us up close and personal to behold and embrace the person within. A state of bliss pervades artistic intent as the figure in this image gently caresses her face. Abandoning appearances for what lies within and what lies ahead, Asencio’s composition makes a statement of the importance of self-reflection and the quest for inner beauty. Through light and color the figure emerges from the darkness to shine in quiet reverie of acceptance and inner peace. The nurturing grasp of her face symbolizes ones need to nurture spiritual growth and embrace change. No fears, no regrets the looking glass serves as but a reflection of time: past, present and future. Asencio’s “Beholding” invites you to look beyond the visage, to what will surpass a meir external existence.
