Whether it’s the smile of Monalisa or the enigmatic gaze of the Girl with the Pearl Earring, portrait artworks are mystery tales on canvas. A beautiful face is not just something superficial, as it can inspire the deepest of reflections in viewers. A pair of blue eyes or a sweet smile in a portrait holds the power to mesmerize us with its stunning beauty, but that is not all. A powerful gaze and even a stifled smile can say it all without a word or two. As an artist, drawing a visage demands profundity more than perfection. Paintings from the past and their countless interpretations only make it more evident that portraiture can inspire a deeper exploration and a persistent attempt to find an answer to “what is going on in their mind?” In this blog, you will discover your potential to immortalize artworks by exploring examples from history and contemporary times. Additionally, you will have a glimpse into an international portrait competition by TERAVARNA, here to ensure that your participation turns into a memorable experience to cherish.
How to Immortalize Your Portrait Artworks?
To answer this question, we need to reflect on painters from history whose masterpieces continue to charm the global audience even today. Apart from that, we also need to focus on how contemporary artists are making waves with their creations.
Explore Broader Themes: In the past, the famous portrait paintings were mainly of political, religious or powerful figures, but the world today continues to embrace broader themes. Celebrating diversity, inclusivity, and women's empowerment, artworks today are launching new avenues and have become more progressive.
Narrate Your Story: Portraiture have existed since time immemorial, but they gained prominence during the Renaissance era. Famous painters like Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Titian shed light on the personality as much as their outer appeal through their artworks. These painters revealed something more than mere likeness that made their paintings immortal. Portraiture became a portal to human experience. Moreover, self-portraits became an intimate autobiography with all its flaws that was revolutionary during the time. Contemporary art also reveals the narratives more powerfully, challenging traditional visage art in diverse ways.
Make Your Visage Art An Experience: Portrait artworks pull the viewer in to connect, explore and experience the soul behind the flesh. It pushes us to dive deep into our imagination to see and feel the personality that often translates into an enigmatic experience.
