Title: NY PortraitFaces.
I tried, with my painting, to answer this question: what is the face of New York?
It is impossible to find a unique face to define the story and the soul of a city, especially if the city is New York.
New York is a symbol of heterogeneity, a place where you can find people of many different cultures and traditions, and again, every person is the result of a complicated texture of events, experiences and genetical outfit.
Therefore an ideal portrait of New York can be a blend of many different faces, where the relationship between the single pictures contributes to discern a global portrait.
The melting of the single paintings in the observer's eyes creates the impression to be in front of a unique portrait. Every picture loses its denotation and becomes suggestion of feature details, composing and creating the texture of the New York Portrait.
