this is a mixed media portrait done using graphite, on 300gsm archival canvas paper with an ambiguous smear of oil paint replacing the focal point of the original sketch. part #1 of a small series contemplating beauty, seduction, simplicity, and ambiguity.

Self taught oil painter, from Brisbane, QLD Australia. Influenced by the Baroque era, and the content and subjectivity of classical paintings. I aim to evoke romanticism, symbolism, and nostalgia as inspiration, trying to breathe modern life in to an era of art and culture which i think should be both mourned, respected, and resurrected.
