24” x 36" Oil on Linen in a vintage frame, 2025

With delicate, finely detailed fingers reminiscent of Renaissance portraits, Claire embodies both elegance and quiet strength. Inspired by classical art and the poetic photography of Jamie Beck, this piece captures the grace of a subject lost in thought, her hands speaking as much as her gaze.

The presence of hands in portraiture has long been a marker of status—historically, their intricate depiction was so challenging that artists charged a premium for including them. Here, the carefully rendered hand, adorned with a self-love ring on the pinky, transforms this tradition into a modern statement: a pinky promise to cherish oneself fully.

Painted on fine linen—just as the old masters did—this portrait pays homage to the timeless techniques of classical painting. Linen, a fabric historically favored by artists for its durability and refined texture, adds a subtle richness to the piece, grounding it in both history and craftsmanship.

In art, the hand conveys emotion as powerfully as the face, serving as a silent storyteller of love, intention, and identity. Through Claire, the viewer is invited to reflect on the intersection of historical symbolism and personal empowerment, where self-worth is not only declared but elegantly worn.

"Claire"(L’élégance de l’Amour Propre)

24” x 36" huile sur lin, encadrement vintage, 2025.

Avec ses doigts délicats et finement détaillés qui rappellent les portraits de la Renaissance, Claire incarne à la fois l'élégance et la force tranquille. Inspirée par l'art classique et la photographie poétique de Jamie Beck, cette pièce capture la grâce d'un sujet perdu dans ses pensées, ses mains parlant autant que son regard.

La présence des mains dans les portraits a longtemps été un marqueur de statut. Historiquement, leur représentation complexe était un tel défi que les artistes demandaient une prime pour les inclure. Ici, la main est ornée d'une bague d'amour-propre au petit doigt et transforme cette tradition en une déclaration moderne : une promesse de s’aimer pleinement.

Peint sur du lin fin, comme le faisaient les maîtres anciens, ce portrait rend hommage aux techniques intemporelles de la peinture classique. Le lin, un tissu historiquement privilégié par les artistes pour sa durabilité et sa texture raffinée, ajoute une richesse subtile à l'œuvre, l'ancrant dans l'histoire.

Dans l'art, la main transmet l'émotion aussi puissamment que le visage, servant de conteur silencieux de l'amour, de l'intention et de l'identité. À travers Claire, le spectateur est invité à réfléchir à l'intersection du symbolisme et de l'amour propre, où l'estime de soi n'est pas seulement déclarée mais élégamment portée.
