Shakespeare, acrylic on canvas, 2022
A strong portrait, nice posture, especially the face, weighty, thinking, with a discrete smile. The paper he reads has tre- mendous success as a little crumpled, maybe a little stained. However, on paper, imprints of lived time, the portrait brings to life the inanimate time. The garment is as convinc- ing as it is of its time. Тhe horizontal strokes of Shakespear- ean clothing point to a writer who meditates and walks, a lit- tle bent over and is the intellectual who writes the history of the spirit, and does not need uniforms, medals, and crowns. The background discreetly but expressively reveals the in- ner spiritual storms that Shakespeare lived while fighting with the spirits. — Stamatis Skliris
