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 canvas print that brings calm, color, and quiet presence to a cozy wall. The painterly portrait uses broad, expressive brushstrokes and a soft turquoise field to frame a meditative figure in warm reds and muted purples. Light texture from the canvas surface adds tactile depth; the slim 1.25" profile keeps the piece intimate while the gallery-stretch gives it a neat, finished edge. Hang it alone as a contemplative accent or group it among other small works to create a collected, lived-in vignette.
