About The Artwork
I find it motivating to paint portraits of old people because of how their skin has been carved throughout the years. It's like creating a sculpture whose every single wrinkle has a unique story to narrate. All these stories compose the wisdom of aging.Creating a portrait is a challenge and requires a lot of time. I had to devote numerous hours to depicting such a great number of wrinkles. Surprisingly, it is true that the older the person, the more time it takes for a portrait to be elaborated. It is as if you, personally, need to spend hours on end so that you can understand that all these marks were not formed in an instant. They are undoubtedly experiences that have been etched on the skin of each and every person and this is how they form the individual map of life.It also has to be noted that during the course of time the human skin dwindles in brightness and its once vivid colours fade into lifeless and monotonous shades.Such a life-rewarding experience for a portrait artist!
