Portraits Gallery

I love painting portraits.  The art of depicting a person's visual likeness is a challenge in itself.  A well-executed portrait is expected to show the inner essence of the subject from the artist's point of view, or a flattering representation, not just a literal likeness. As Aristotle said, "The aim of Art is to present not the outward appearance of things, but their inner significance; for this, not the external manner and detail, constitutes true reality."
