Artist's Interpretation
This painting, a modern pointillist interpretation of a black and white photo of the subject, is dressed with bright colors to animate his portrait. In particular the dominant yellow that is associated with joy and friendship blends very well with the character. The artist has also used complementary colors to engage in a visual dialogue with each other and increase their respective intensity. The texture created using the spatula is another remarkable feature of this work: each touch reveals the visible mark of its passage.
