In honour of Eric Dzenis I am re-posting the original blog of 02/23/12. My thoughts of Eric, one of the worlds greatest portrait artists.
Eric Dzenis,
my friend and mentor in art.
I was there to have my work photographed but all around me is the wonderfully detailed and moving work of this truly remarkable artist of the truly classical portrait style. Every detail, every shade of the muscle, every hair on the head and the eyes! Oh my goodness! those eyes he portrays, glitter with that light that catches your eye and makes you draw closer.
From his portrayal of countless Corporate Executives to the soft and delicate presentation of the one and only Karen Kain, his movement and flow just mesmerize me.
I have been in the presence of greatness, if never before certainly now. Now that I have met and rubbed shoulders with Mr Dzenis.
