Custom Portrait

 Custom portraits, people send me a photo and I do the portrait. I reproduce it and I try to make it come out the same as the model, I try to make something nice. Really, It's not so simple, not for me. Many times it is inevitable to get involved with that photo, with the model, with that smile or with that look. Even with the possible circumstances or motivations of the person applying for the job. How would that person like to see selfperson in a portrait made by me?

Many people request portraits of people who are no longer with them. They ask me to merge photos to gather people who, perhaps, no longer see with them for some reason. Others simply want to see that photo they love so much turned into an artwork. Many times I think about the motivations of the person who has hired my services. In some cases, the most obvious, I get excited and the responsibility I feel increases. But in the end I always end up entering into the portrait: the forms, the gestures, the features, the colors and the textures. It's always the same.
