MATISSE — Cover

MATISSE

A beauty film. We began with the formal language of Henri Matisse. Starting from quiet nude tones, moving through rich color, and arriving at neon accents, we trace a process of liberation—from naturalness toward expression and abstraction. Rethinking how Matisse worked with color, form, and ornament, we turn makeup into a self-contained artistic gesture. A movement from restraint to intensity. An attempt to explore the boundary between beauty and art.
