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 bold, painterly color into everyday spaces. Thick brushstrokes and simplified shapes give this portrait an expressive, modern feel—sunglasses, a strong green background, and warm skin tones that read lively from across the room. Mounted on a 1.25" pine frame with a matte finish, the lightweight piece hangs flush against the wall and adds an art-studio vibe to entryways, home offices, or cozy living nooks. The canvas surface has a subtle texture that softens light reflections, letting the painting’s color and mood take center stage.
