Heads without bodies, isolated in close-up and exposed to the viewer’s gaze, which they attempt to escape through a silent, introverted reserve — or, on the contrary, openly displaying themselves, talkative and expressive: how can one paint that elusive connection between oneself and another?

My heads pose.

They pose as saints.

Their gaze raised, lowered, or directed towards the viewer.

​

Those who have posed for me are neither stars nor media icons.

But they have the right to be elevated to the status of saints…
