kasvokuva

Kasvokuva is a Finnish term that translates to "portrait" or "face picture" in English. It refers to an artistic representation of a person's face, typically focusing on their likeness and expression. Historically, portraits have been created through various mediums, including painting, drawing, sculpture, and later, photography. The purpose of a kasvokuva can range from documenting an individual's appearance to conveying their personality, status, or emotions.

In contemporary contexts, the term kasvokuva is often used in relation to digital imagery, such as profile pictures on social media platforms or headshots for professional use. These modern forms of kasvokuva share the fundamental aim of presenting a person's face to an audience, though the technical means and social conventions may differ significantly from traditional portraiture. The evolution of technology has made the creation and dissemination of kasvo-kuva more accessible than ever before.
