A Woman In An Orange Coat
A striking oil portrait on paper, this work pairs warm coral and umber tones with loose linear accents and softly modeled light. The upward viewpoint gives the figure quiet authority, while the painterly surface and expressive drawing keep the composition intimate, contemporary, and emotionally present.
Eithan Tamayo
Eitan Tamayo is a 19-year-old artist who was born into the world of art through his motherโan architect from Peruโand his grandfather, who used to sketch the desert landscapes of South America in his notebook. He had been drawing all his life while contending with severe attention and concentration issues, these manifest in the addition of black etchings over the paint, lending his portraits a unique, expressive character. The portraits themselves focus on everyday human moments and the emotional complexity inherent within them. He draws inspiration from the world of cinema and the dramatic facial expressions of Old Hollywood actors. Only recently did he begin experimenting with oil paints, and he instantly fell in love with the medium; he maintains that the fluidity of the colors complements his wild style and rapid painting pace.
