I wanted to challenge myself: to work strictly in oil, to focus on portraiture, and to see what happens when you commit to painting 100 faces — 100 lives. That number felt big, even intimidating. But it forced me to slow down and really see the people I was painting. Over time, I realized what my work had been missing: character, emotion, and color. Not just technique — but truth.

I’m updating this page with a new portrait every other week. Each one carries a real story, a real human. Maybe someone you’ll recognize. Maybe someone you’ll feel.
