Cosmic Portraits

Cosmic Portraits are commissioned paintings created through a one-to-one process rooted in time, attention, and presence.

Rather than aiming for physical resemblance, these works explore inner states, rhythms, and qualities that emerge through sustained dialogue and observation. Each portrait unfolds slowly, allowing the painting to develop its own structure and coherence over time.

The process is intimate and deliberate. Each commission is approached as a singular work, shaped by conversation, reflection, and extended periods of painting and rest.

Cosmic Portraits are undertaken selectively and produced in limited number each year.

Process

Each Cosmic Portrait follows a simple but intentional structure:

  • An initial conversation to understand context and intention

  • A period of reflection and preparation

  • The painting process, developed slowly in layers

  • Time for adjustment, integration, and resolution

The emphasis is on depth rather than speed, allowing the work to arrive at its own clarity.
