There is something within us that is naturally drawn to the miracle of live, shapes and proportions. Finally, there is intimacy. To me, this is the most important piece. With portraits, it's about trust. Someone is giving me a piece of themselves, trusting that I will be kind in my interpretation. Even if we are not using words, I have to hear what they are saying with their eyes, lips and hands. This is the beauty of portraiture, capturing that essence that I've been trusted with.
Hay algo dentro de nosotros que nos atrae al milagro de la vida, formas y proporciones. Finalmente, hay la intimidad. Para mi, esta es la pieza mas importante. Con retratos, se trata de confianza. Alguien me esta dando una parte de si mismo, confiando en que sere amable en mi interpretacion. Aun cuando no estemos usando palabras, yo tengo que escuchar lo que estan diciendo con sus ojos, sus labios y sus manos. Esta es la belleza de los retratos, capturar esa esencia la cual me ha sido confiada.
