Karel Funk 

Inspired by New York's crowded subway Karel Funk created portraits by never showing the person's eyes and instead painting their backs of the head and their hoods. The most important thing about a portrait of someone is seeing their face. How their eyes portray their emotions, but Karel Funk took that away and instead drew people's hooded figure never really showing their eyes creating a mystery. It's one of the reasons I love this series of art.
