Artwork Description:
The theme of Africa and inspiration by Fayum's portraits as well as by Pablo Picasso bear huge importance for the artist. This depiction of the African royal-looking male is a handsome portrait of a beautiful man, in a style which upon adaptation to it no longer looks overly challenging and ugly. Nicholaas Chiao already stated the difference in the roles of historical and contemporary painters. Painting demands to be more intriguing and unique to challenge the role of a popular photographer and present something as an achievement. The beauty of this portrait is beauty inside out, permitting us to see and experience the model as someone of more than just the polished look of the glamour photograph, someone with soul exposed and a range of emotions expressed together at one effort.
