Pictorial Biographies

Blue Hesik - by commission

A Pictorial Biography is a visual expression of the memories and dreams of an individual, family or group.

To achieve a true transference to canvas of these emotions and events, a deep rapport is established between the artist and the subject. Through a series of interviews or correspondence, the artist becomes intimately acquainted with the subject, absorbing personality, moods and distinctive individual traits.

It is then that the artist, through skilled use of color, composition and detail becomes the conduit between the subject and the canvas, thus creating a true and vivid portrait.
