Title : Sonia

Oil on Oval

Private Collection

"This is a posthumous portrait of a beautiful young woman, who sadly passed
away.When I was shown the photographs of Sonia, I was struck by her
beautiful face and captivating expression. A truly timeless and elegant young
woman.

I hope this portrait captures something of the essence and life of Sonia. The
photograph I worked from was taken in the very late seventies, only a couple
of years after I was born, which just goes to show how a timeless image can
be painted at any point in the future, and it will always continue to capture the
appearance and essence of the subject.

I always aim for the posthumous portraits I do to capture more than a simple
image.Somehow portraits have the power to do this more that a photograph."
