Painting familar faces from a new perspective

Traditional PaintingThis series of oil portraits conveys popular figures through a different lens than we tend to see them. The reference photos for these portraits are all candid or paparazzi images, which is significant because we more often see media personalities in a polished, prepared, and edited product. At the time, I was also experimenting with “unnatural” colors, as is evident in these pieces. The particular subjects are people that sparked my interest at one point, and include individuals that I both do and don't “like”.
