Jonatan

Jonatan is an original oil portrait on copper measuring 8 × 10 inches (20 × 25 cm). Painted alla prima, the work captures the subject in profile with immediacy and precision, emphasizing structure, character, and presence through direct observation.

The copper surface plays a critical role in the composition, lending warmth and luminosity to the skin tones while enhancing the depth and subtle transitions of light across the face. This interaction between medium and technique reinforces the physicality of the subject, highlighting both strength and individuality without reliance on overt narrative.

Executed with confident, economical brushwork, the portrait reflects a contemporary approach grounded in classical discipline. The clean profile view and restrained background allow the figure to remain the sole focus, creating a direct and uncompromised engagement with the viewer.

The original artwork remains in the artist’s private collection and is available for acquisition.
Fine art print options are also offered for collectors seeking a carefully produced reproduction that preserves the tonal depth and surface quality of the original copper painting.
