Acrylic painting on a 20 x 20 cm square canvas. A figurative painting with a decidedly classical style, the detail of the face alone suggests the expression and gentleness of the subject. The pictorial exploration of the portraits in the "selected pieces" series seeks out these expressive details, unconsciously registered in the immediate, overall perception. It is an ode to the fragment, also found in the series of cement sculptures, and a celebration of non-verbal communication, the fleeting image, and the suspended moment. The relationship with the viewer is direct, intimate, and devoid of any anecdotal suggestion: an ode, too, to silence.
