Four Portraits Inspired by Ancient Sculpture

A portrait painting represents a person in paint, either in whole or part, typically showing the face. This type of painting is also called a portrait because it depicts the subject's likeness. That rule could be applied to sculpture, too, if we take the color away and focus on sculpture itself.

The word "portrait" derives from an older term meaning "picture", which had its origins in the Latin word "pictura".

Poet`s Dream 03  oil on paper canvas, 30x23cm (12x9inches), 2022

These four portraits are inspired by the head sculptures of ancient Greece and Rome. It is an interesting process of bringing sculpture to the painting, but in a way that becomes a painting of the person rather than a representation of the sculpture's surface. Buy these portraits today!
