This series will present definitive portraits of global superstars you Definition
thought you knew. As renowned artist Henry Ward, celebrated for his HD
painting of Queen Elizabeth II, captures their likeness on canvas, our
subjects will undergo their most intimate interviews.
This is not traditional portraiture, where the subject sits in silence. The
revelations from the interviews will guide the art, and the artistic process
will, in turn, inspire further revelations. By the end of each session, we
will have created an extraordinary new portrait of the celebrity—both
literally, as a painting to be gifted to a charity of their choice, and
figuratively, through a deeper understanding of their persona.
