This miniature painting is like a treasure to me. As with many of my paintings, I start by painting the background, mixing colours directly on the canvas, and then I leave it to ‘settle’. Later, as I look at the mixture of colours, I see the face. For me, it’s very simple: the face is already there; you just have to discover it. In this case, I used black ink and, finally, I covered the painting with varnish.
