The portraits made at home acrylic on canvas rely on the technique of realism to represent the truth of the matter. with a look, with an expression. It’s very important that the model person is recognizable, while confronting them with other people. a more instinctive and dynamic pictorial technique using touches of bright colors.
Be able to transcribe the frozen moment; of a photograph by making it come alive through the affirmation of the brushstrokes, this is what makes a successful painting for Loana.
