The word expression can mean a facial appearance, or a saying, or more generally an articulation or communication (e.g. an expression of gratitude).

There is no direct antonym, but the opposite of expression as "communication" could be suppression (withholding information).

Another possible antonym is impression (as in perceptual impression), which refers to the recording, contraction or sensing of sensory information (stimuli) on a surface, which could itself be human (retina, skin) or inhuman (as in Photography, sculpture). In this sense expression refers to the production of stimuli from the inside out (exogenous) whereas impression is outside-in (endogenous).
