Agree with the above comments - portrait is looking great but the background is over-powering it. It's visually distracting, but in addition I think it works against your concept to have the numerals so obvious. It seems to me that mathematical structures that underlie the beauty of nature do not reveal themselves to us until we look for them, and then we see them everywhere. Or perhaps they fleetingly come into view and then disappear again. This is just a thought, but maybe there's a way you could use varnishes with different levels of gloss to paint the numerals over a more monochromatic background, so that depending on the position of the viewer, they would glint into view in the light and then disappear again.
