"Each portrait, enthusiastically painted, is not the portrait of the model, but the artist" - Oscar Wilde

This research is an essentially emotional likeness of the expression of the special relationship between the artist and his model, put in these portraits "the other" in the daylight and inevitably refers to itself. The confrontation between the look of it is painted and painter immerses the viewer into a pictorial universe of which he becomes finally the center itself.
