Man with Helmet. Part of "Not from Here" group.
"Not from Here" is a series of portraits where I was trying to depict “lost in time” feel and make faces androgynous.
Painted with helmet and robe as Conquistador.
Acrylic on loose linen, 62,5 x 47 cm. Partially inspired by Visconti's film Death in Venice, but more by Mahler's Symphony No5 ( used in the film ). Acrylic on loose linen with unpainted border if to be put on a stretcher . Matisse acrylic paints.
Painted in 2022 and signed in left size.
Intention to be float framed in a box frame, with or without glass . Please check a photo for framing suggestion.
Thin layer of Krylon UV Archival ( Gallery series ) satin varnish has been applied. It can be varnished further would more shiny look be required.
Again, whole series is dedicated to great(est) of them all, F. Goya.
Great influence and a silent mentor.
Painting portraits and hands is a great passion. They are both delicate and also challenging to paint. Hands reveal great deal of the personality and character of the sitter.
Portraits....beautifully difficult to paint.

About Goya:
-Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes was a Spanish painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
He is considered to be both, the last of the Old Masters and the father of modern art.
Goya’s importance to modern painters is undeniable.
His influence continued throughout the 20th century and is still prevalent today.
Though he enjoyed great success as a court painter, Goya withdrew from public life in his later years, no doubt dogged by his increasing deafness and fear of old age and madness.
When the political climate in Spain became too unstable, he exiled himself to Bordeaux, where he died in 1828.
