These portraits focus on close-up views of the face, using personal photographs as a starting point rather than a reference to replicate. Each piece is developed through a process of reduction and reinterpretation, informed by materiality and expressionist gesture.
Original portrait on canvas 25cm x 30cm (approx 10" x 12")
Submit a clear, well-lit photograph of yourself or someone close to you, ensuring the face is unobstructed and not tightly cropped. Each image is used as a starting point for a close-up portrait, developed through processes of reduction and reinterpretation.The final work will emphasise colour, materiality, and gesture, moving beyond direct representation. Examples shown are indicative of the approach, though each piece is resolved individually. Each piece is resolved as a unique work, and commissions are therefore not offered on a return basis.
