My portrait illustration style blends realism with a painterly, expressive approach. I use soft, fluid brushstrokes to add depth and texture, while incorporating bold, vibrant colors to bring the subject to life. I aim to capture the essence of each person through a balance of detail and abstraction, allowing the personality and emotion of the subject to shine through. This style allows me to creatively interpret my subjects while maintaining a strong connection to realism, making each piece both unique and engaging.
