Sean by Candlelight
Aimee, Age 19
Sean by Candlelight is my nod to Baroque candlelit portraits with a contemporary twist. Inspired by hyperrealism, I enjoy creating an illusion that tricks the viewer. I believe every detail of a painting is important. Mimicking 6x4 photographs is not accidental and enhances the illusion; I want people to first assume they are photographs before pausing to look closer, taking the time to really see Sean, lit by candle, in a modern world.
