ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This OVAL PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG WOMAN was painted in oils on linen canvas in 2015 while I was staying in Northern California, near Nevada City. It is a painting of my indigenous Mexican model who posed 5 times in my studio. The portrait is in neoclassical style. I painted it as an exercise in order to improve my technique and to imitate neoclassical old masters. I don't want to be original, I want to achieve their level. Leonardo da Vinci inspired me when painting this portrait. The subject looks like a madonna from renaissance and I wanted her to look like one, looking down, instead of frontal. It has many layers, I started with a grisaille and then built up the surface with various stratus of paint.

I am driven by classical art and I would love to follow in the footsteps of the beloved artists from the past like Veronese, Da Vinci, Andrea del Sarto. I like the idea of art which is based on canons of ideal forms or divine ideal proportions. I particularly like these forms of art such as David and Ingre. Saatchi is a wonderful opportunity to reach international audiences.
