Oil on canvas
W1050 x H1700 mm

Thoughts from the artist: this philosopher, gesturing as if to signal an inner debate, stands alone and isolated against a flat colour field, an exposed imprimatura of cool green blue. The stance and somber simplicity of the figure attempt to emulate the grave earnestness and presence of those Spanish masters, whose broad treatment and simplicity of form never lose their power.

The head is painted from the cast of a very well known and acclaimed actress, but can you discern its owner?
