The Philosophy Student Painting by Anthony de Klerk

Painting: Acrylic, Gesso on Canvas.

This is a profile portrait of a student of philosophy who walked into the artist's studio. Anthony is inspired to paint people that he meets in his everyday life who impress with their attitude and positive outlook on the world. This painting is done from life using acrylic paint on a gesso base. The colour palette is indigo blues on a white background. At closer inspection the viewer will notice a textured symbol etched into the background. An African symbol of superior intelligence. This artwork has a clean minimalist feel and would suit any modern decor.
