Here I’m sketching, drawing, gilding and painting a portrait. Experimenting with 23.5carat gold leaf to see if I can bring something of the calm and stable spirituality of pre-rennaissance Italy into modern life and contemporary art. The idea is to combine the austere and very lovely mood of the medieval icon with a minimalist portrait with an updated expressionist feel.
