Painting or Drawing human figure, has always been my passion. Whether the subject is stationary, or engaged in an activity, I strive to capture that moment in time, so that it may live forever.
As a young art student, I remember visiting reknowned art galleries such as The Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Art Gallery and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. In these iconic sanctuaries I would study the work of old masters and contemporary painters alike. I would study how the artists applied the paint on the canvas, and what effect it created, how the light source was used, and what effect the shadow and reflective light created.
In my opinion, creating a great portrait cannot be achieved through contemporary digital media. A genuine portrait artist applies oil paints with the just the right touch, and strives to achieve a unique effect, and works until that effect is achieved.
I have a passion for close attention to detail, starting from the first photo shoot, selecting the finest linen, and ultimately paint application that achieves the highest and best quality portrait. I do not cut any corners that would prevent me from achieving the finest piece of art.
My wish is that after looking at a few of my creations, you will consider having me paint your portrait, one that will last many generations, and become a cherished heirloom.
