Portraits & Models

Thoughts

Portrait art has always existed in almost all the civilisations. Wether it was realistic or impregnated with religious or special spirit, the portrait represented along with sculpture the sole and unique method to preserve and transmit the person image until the rise of photography. There are so many ways to realise a portrait. The most obvious desire is to reproduce a portrait that resembles the person as much as possible. Sometimes it gets to be like an obsession that seeks to enter in a competition round with photography...This is not my vision of portrait. No competition, no rivalry, it is more a question of personal and subjective feelings ! Body and face expressions remain a hint to unveil combined emotions that lie underneath.

Favorites From Masters Artists

De la leda, by Leonardo Da Vinci. Juvenile and graceful faces with eyes sometimes looking downward bashfully sometimes, or looking brightly and pure some other times... The Leonardo da vinci style!
Remarkably, Leonardo who painted one of the most beautiful woman faces in art history, the overfamous Monalisa, was so sensitive to female beauty and was so inspired by it, and however he led a private life that was not particularly marked by feminine presence. So mysterious, just like the smiles he drew... However, that charm has done magic.
