Acrylic on canvas
Signed on the front.
"Not from Here" is a series of portraits where I was trying to depict “lost in time” feel and make faces androgynous.
Acrylic on loose canvas, 119 x 80 cm. Partially inspired by Visconti's film Death in Venice, but more by Mahler's Symphony No5 ( used in the film ). Acrylic on loose heavy weight loose canvas with unpainted border if to be put on a stretcher . Matisse acrylic paints.
Painted in 2022 and signed in top right corner.
Intention to be float framed in a box frame, with or without glass . Please check a photo for framing suggestion.
Thin layer of Krylon UV Archival ( Gallery series ) satin varnish has been applied. It can be varnished further would more shiny look be required.
Again, whole series is dedicated to great(est) of them all, F. Goya.
Great influence and a silent mentor.
Painting portraits and hands is a great passion. They are both delicate and also challenging to paint. Hands reveal great deal of the personality and character of the sitter.
Portraits....beautifully difficult to paint.
