Tronies: Reflections Unveiled in a Canvas of Inner Echoes

Rooted in the Dutch Golden Age, tronies are small fantasy portraits portraying contemplative faces, serving as my canvas for exploration. Beyond color and anatomy, each tronie becomes a vessel for my quest for inner tranquility. In this realm, beauty transcends mere aesthetics, dwelling in the intangible facets of human experience. The closed eyes and expressions of contemplation within these portraits invite viewers to delve beyond the superficial. Through meticulous strokes, I navigate the interplay of hues, materials, and the elusive landscape of the human psyche. These creations diverge from the pursuit of conventionally 'beautiful' faces, instead capturing moments of introspection—a dance between observer and observed.
