PORTRAITS by Richard Merchán

By (author):  Richard Merchán

Title: PORTRAITS

Subtitle: INSPIRED BY LIFE

Blurb/Shorttext:

Portrait paintings have historically featured popes, royals and high society. Today, even with vast use of conventional and digital photography, the prestige of having a portrait executed on canvas in a traditional manner is a ceremonial experience. Creating a portrait proves to be a meaningful journey for both the sitter and the artist.

A Merchán portrait is an interpretation that captures the spirit of what he sees and feels about his subject rather than a clinical depiction or exact likeness. In this comprehensive volume of work, the viewer participates in experiencing the story about each character prompted by its environment, light, attire, body language and the overall scenario.
