THE PORTRAITS OF FIRST LADIES

I've been working on the topic of portraits for the past thirty years. My visual expression consists of 'defining' the non-physical in the portrait. I'm focused on the moment which captures the state of the person I'm 'portraying'. Having in mind the information I gathered about that person, I subconsciously create a form. Through my work I'm questioning what are individuality and identity of a person? As I understand it, we are all one, what makes us 'different' are different life situations and experiences which are the reason why we are forgetting that we are all part of a unique being which exists in various forms.
