Art Talk – Classical Portraiture in Today’s World

Art Talk: Classical Portraiture in the Modern World

Hi friends!

You’re invited to my upcoming presentation next week! I’ll be speaking about classical portraiture in the modern world and how new technologies are reshaping the creative process.

I’ll share what classical portraiture means to me, how a portrait comes to life today, and how artists—past and present—blend tradition with innovation. From royal sitters and stand-ins to mannequins, photographs, and even AI-assisted tools, we’ll explore how the essence of a portrait endures while the methods evolve.

50-minute talk + 10-minute Q&A
