Derek (Portrait Series: Innerworlds) Acrylic

Derek is calm and attentive, a portrait of equanimity painted in reserved greens and warm yellows. The surface is built from sweeping strokes and compact textures, giving rhythm and balance. Overpainting layers outline his presence with quiet definition, while blended passages bring harmony. Subtle scuffles of paint animate the canvas without disturbance. With raw sides visible, the process remains part of the artwork. Derek is steady and composed: a listener made visual.
