MOVIE STARS for sale

Movies, movie stars and celebrities inspire me to paint large format portraits. My style is a very graphic style due to the fact that I am a graphic designer. After a graphic design career, I now focus completely on portrait painting. I am always intrigued by faces and especially the eyes. The eyes are very important to me, so I start with the eyes in a painting and after that the rest follows.....The painting has to look at me. ( despite the fact that I have a few paintings with sunglasses) I use acrylic paint on canvas because I like the medium and you have to work fast. I approach my paintings like a design, looking for the right composition and colors even before I start painting. Large size canvases with vibrant colors. The love for bright colors is obvious. The art of leaving out is my challenge, to use just enough details to recognize a person. I usually paint the portraits in black, white and grey with one color for the background. Recently I also experiment with more color in the portraits but still the black and white base. I made a James Bond series for the 50th anniversary of James Bond.
