Story and assignment
An abstract portrait of the client made in the free-creation manner. Accurate similarity to the model, at least in the physical aspect, was not required. However, in terms of capturing the emotional side of the piece I aimed to express as much of my client as possible. No need to hide anything: The client was and is my long-term friend, so this work is also partially a projection of my own thoughts, mannerisms, and personality. I dedicated special attention to capturing the psychical details, or rather powers that the person contains within.
A little curious fact is that the Portrait of Regi was my third completed oil painting. Only the third. Nowadays there are, of course, more of them.
