• Artist Statement

  This is a portrait of a bearded man painted with different textures of warm, and cool colors. The reference was on Pinterest from a photographer called Andrea Magna. I am always fascinated with colors, especially the various colors created by the light hitting the subject. The side facing the light emits warm colors, whose the shadow side presets cool colors. The beautiful effect generated by the distinction of brush corresponding to the contrast of warm and cold colors reminds me of a symphonic piece.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity is where I can communicate my feeling and thoughts. Also, it can help me learn new styles of art. Learning new techniques is essential because it makes me who I am as an artist.
