Staring back with a luminous gaze, these portraits, resembling old masters with surreal overtones, are direct. It isn’t often anymore that I try to decipher a portrait’s subject. But these portraits are alive. I would expect them to roam the gallery at night, when not watched. My only worry was that the techniques and the style used seem to go around in circles. I hope these portraits and the portraits to come, escape to a different style and reality soon, and not remain forever in that dreamy place they now wonderfully occupy.
