This work captures the feeling of dancing til the sun sets. Your hair sticking to your face. A moment of total euphoria. The hibiscus in the background is a nod to my Puerto Rican culture (the state's flower).

In biblical tales she's seen,
Mary Magdalene, serene.
With compassion and care,
Through trials, she'd dare,
A symbol of strength, so keen.

Subject, 2021

My Subject series, in particular, responds to Ukraine artist Julian Savko’s Portrait of the orphan Sashko Budyak (1974). Sashko’s subtle yet complicated expression reminded me of my time in Serbia, on a short missionary trip to help children overcome challenges associated with poverty. This portrait series uses Sashko’s face as a basis, hinting at a kind of misfortune childhood through subtle changes in facial expressions. The generated images encapsulate the original painting while reinterpreting it to include my personal experience in Serbia.

Sydney

Artist and art lover

I like doing portraits and when I'm painting someone I often feel I'm with them, even if they are no longer posing. It's a very personal thing. This Irishmen has beautiful coloring and a quick wit, and a bright mind. It was great fun to paint this.
