Valentino,
This is stunning and very fresh! I love how you combined such lively brushwork within the elegance of the monochrome. It successfully makes an interesting contemporary expressive portrait in an active compositional genre that is normally relegated to photography. Catching your subject in motion on the phone is truly rare in painting, and perhaps the monochrome aspect of this portrait is what unifies it so well.

Very strong work! Thanks so much also for the work-in-progress pictures, too.
