Artwork Description

An experiment in tonal variation, the aim of this piece was to create a powerful portrait much darker than previous works. The result is a seductively moody portrait which blends into the black expanse of the background.

Hades, the name of the underworld and its patron God in Greek mythology seemed a fitting name for an emotive portrait with such low light values. This is my third and final portrait of UK-based collaborator, Jessica W.
