This collection brings together two strands of my portrait painting: the deeply personal and the exploratory.

On one side are the portraits of my family and loved ones — works like Portrait of Bogi and Portrait of Eszti — where painting becomes not only a study of form and light, but also an act of closeness, preserving fleeting expressions and moments of intimacy. These works carry a personal warmth and emotional connection that go beyond likeness.

Alongside them are my portrait studies, often painted from tutorials or reference photographs found online. These studies allow me to explore technique, light, texture, and expression in different ways, pushing my skills and broadening my painterly language. While less personal in subject, they contribute to the growth of the personal works by honing the craft behind them.
