I've always been interested in portraiture and the expressive capturing of a feeling in facial expressions.
"Akemi" is a painting of a beautiful Japanese woman, created from my mind as lately, l have been richly delving into Japanese art and culture.
This painting was a concept of fusing Japanese portrait art with the mark making of Klimt. I was curious as to how the two different styles would work together, and as l predicted there is a beautiful harmony and balance in colour, composition and emotion.
I do hope you enjoy this new piece!
