A priest whose face is expanded and simultaneously united by another face. Instead of being lost in this unnatural constellation, the opposite occurs. The eyes are more focused, and the figure is more present. One has the impression that the person only found themselves through the second face and only thereby became what they are. A mystical fascination emanates from the painting "Threeeye No. 5" by Sebastian Bieniek. Painted in 1901 as a classic realistic portrait, the picture is now a masterpiece that is no longer merely a portrait of a person, but rather of their soul. Bieniek seems to be able to recognize and coax out the soul not only of his paintings. In 2024, the painting was included in the Two-Faced series and given the name "Two-Faced No. 9.
