When the painting looks like the person in front of me, I feel like a magician who got reach to the fundamental nature (quintessence) of the individual.
It is an alchemical process that makes me feel very close and connected to both the portrait and the subject.
Every time I travel, I sketch people I meet, and it makes books full of stories, lives and friends for me.
This is a way to keep them in my heart, as every single drawing means feelings, impressions and memories that will last forever.
The best was when a friend shyly asked me: "Natalia... Would you do a portrait for me?"
And the story began.
Coming up next on my website: a special Portrait Section!
Stay tuned on www.nataliaresmini.com
