Distance Portraits — Giacometti spent a career trying to paint people as they actually appear: at a distance, unresolved, never fully reachable. These portraits pick up that problem in the age of the feed — faces built from bold, flat planes of color, familiar the way a stranger's profile is familiar. You know them without knowing them. Each one holds the warmth of a real encounter and the gap where the encounter should be. Oil on panel, from a series about how much we share and how little we actually touch.
A small stretched matte canvas that brings a bold, painterly portrait into any cozy corner. Thick, hand-painted brushstrokes—rendered in warm earth tones against a rich blue field—feel immediate and intimate. The subtle texture of the canvas and the matte finish soften glare and invite close viewing, while the 1.25" depth gives the piece presence on the wall without overwhelming a room. Hang it on a hallway wall, tuck it on a floating shelf, or let it anchor a bedside vignette; this canvas adds a lived-in, artful warmth that reads like a quick, joyful study rather than a perfectly polished print.
