The Portrait Project
Concept:

The portraits are part of an ongoing project: the exploration of the human face. 2002 faces - the initial series, was displayed collectively only once in 2002 as a homage to time, measured in years, from its origin to present day in the Western World. For every year, there was one portrait. Since the completion of 2002 faces, many consecutive series evolved. They diversified in media and size, and include sculpture as of 2004.

Shown are not portraits of actual people, but of fictitious characters.
The face as the-mirror-of-our-soul allows a seemingly endless variety of expressions. One key element of these faces is the invitation to interactivity: selecting one or more paintings, the investor creates his or her own unique composition. With the option of grouping the individual paintings in clusters, new relationships between single characters are formed. An option for large scale works with a strong overall visual impact emerges.
