retaken now, Jun 2025
Hi, I started working with this kind of portrait more recently — where the image gets interrupted, broken, layered with aggressive marks or color. Not to destroy it, but to shift the focus.
It’s about contrast: between a painted, recognizable face and something more raw, uncertain. I’m interested in what happens when a portrait stops being about likeness and becomes something else — more emotional, more instinctive.
