GABRIELA Oil on Linen 65 cm h x 65 cm w frame $1,500 Artist’s Statement A large part of why we paint portraits is to record the relationship between artist and sitter, and through each conversation we observe and learn about the many facets of each personality. I have painted Gaby several times and continue to chronicle the different aspects of her personality. This is one of them. Gabriella in pensive contemplation. This portrait was submitted for the Lester Prize. click on artwork to enlarge |
