The dualistic thinking structure, which is deepened with illumination, is characterized by thinking about all the relationships with their opposition. In an attempt to understand these contradictions, it is believed that the face has representations that reflect the emotional reactions it gives to the alerts of the outside world. In other words, we accept the face as the representative of the body and the emotions; the inner mirror of the reactions observed in the external world. The physical comparative attitude that visualizes a person in the process, especially starting with a portrait image, has evolved with the consideration of the emotional representations that can better explain him. But it is believed today that the face is not just a ground that represents emotions, and that the processes of sensation come before the emotions. This situation leads us to reflect on the portraits that are seen as representative fields. In this article, we also want to look at what is unrepresentable as the portraits that are representative areas keep their traces in art history. In the study, we will focus on the face and portraits as a transitional area, through the concepts of Platon, Spinoza and Deleuze’s feelings, emotions, ideas, and representations. Our goal is to show more on portraits the potential of transmitting what is not expressed except the categorical emotional representations and to emphasize the possibilities to reflect what is not represented that will be opened through the art discipline.
