| The eyes are off and the moustache is off, but the soft graphite and light value makes me think of another time, sort of an old photo effect. |
| What I take in (that is to say what influences me) has more to do with literature and music than visual art, though if one were adamant, I would say that anything in the Baroque era has influenced me. The Baroque artists’ use of contrast and the solidity of their subjects has become a striving point in my art; I render my subjects with a mass of shadows to create that effect. Another style that has inspired me, though in a more subtle way, is Celtic art, particularly the precision of its lines and the blend of complexity and consistency to produce harmony. |
