Cordelia
“A true portrait should be, today and a hundred years from today, the testimony of how this person looked and what kind of human being he was.” ~Philippe Halsman
This portrait presents a friend and fellow artist bathed in an aura of introspective elegance. Set against a dark, velvety backdrop, the woman's figure emerges with a sculptural grace, each brushstroke meticulously evokes a sense of depth and texture. Her gaze, fixed on an unseen horizon, invites the viewer into a realm of contemplation and quiet reverie. The mood of the piece is profoundly somber, capturing a moment of deep reflection and inner strength. Cordelia’s presence, both commanding and ethereal, lingers in the mind long after the first glance.
