Portrait Statement
When painting a personalized portrait, my goal is to create a one-of-a-kind "Work of Art" that will be cherished for generations. As a chronicle on canvas, the portrait can tell about a factual account of an important event and the personality, character, or likeness of the subject. A personal narrative or theme of showing one's life will be identified. As an artist, the portrait becomes an expression of what is desired from an objective view. This is a shared task for both the artist and the subject portrayed. The portrait is a template of an attitude toward a situation, a self-indulgent feeling, or an event engaging the subject.
We (you and I) have a goal to influence the viewer to feel emotion. With the artist's commitment to finding vanity through the subject's accomplishment and the achievement through the artist's own work, an artist will find the right composition through experience and knowledge to build the framework in the picture plane. Emphasis will be on formal techniques of painting. The portrait painter's main focus of the "Work of Art "is to advance the Classical Realist Tradition. Painting with one focus, you.
