In my portrait art, I seek to capture more than just a likeness - I strive to reveal the essence and personality of my subjects. Whether I'm working with oils, charcoal, or exploring more contemporary techniques, my goal is always to go beyond the surface and portray the inner character of the individual. I find great satisfaction in using light, shadow, and subtle nuances to convey emotion and depth. Each portrait is a journey of discovery for me, an intimate exploration of human expression that I hope resonates with viewers on a profound level.
