Armin,

Thank you for sharing your philosophy and approach to your art. I printed it out to reread because it is great food for thought. Your work is very moving, very emotional. Looking forward to seeing more!

One of my goals is to do a portrait of a friend of mine who has serious cerebral palsy. His face is grossly distorted yet he is still, physically beautiful. He has the largest most expressive eyes I've ever seen on a person, his whole being emanates from those huge brown eyes, with the thick lashes and very lush, deep eyebrows. A successful portrait of him will realistically portray all his features, however, I believe I can make the viewer see his beauty the way I do. Your post here has inspired me to attempt another drawing of Bill.

Thanks
