About the work

A closer look.

I paint a portrait of a real person from one clear photograph you give me, plus one true sentence about them. The piece is a painterly character portrait built from your reference, then I write the short prose that belongs under it and hand both over together. You get a print-ready digital file. This is the same work as my public series: one face held steady across every piece, the small marks left by a life actually lived left in. What I need from you: one good reference photo (face clear, no heavy filter), and the one line. If the photo can't carry a real face, I'll tell you before accepting instead of guessing at who they were.
