The Embrace Project

The paintings in the “Embrace” series explore an emotion and how to relate to it. The emotion has a personal form, as if it were a separate individual with whom you can communicate and discover how you can relate to each other. Finding space, movement, and a suitable pace. The style is classical, with warm and soft lighting. These are labor-intensive portraits, often requiring hundreds of hours of labor.
