THE PSYCHOLOGY OF PORTRAITURE
VENUS
Venera Lokaj-Smit
A Portrait is an artistic representation of a person; be that face and its
expression only or face an the body language.
A quality Portrait reflects the person's inner self; it also requires artist's natural
curiosity and a gifted ability to observe and capture the essence of what is seen
and heard. That's where Psychology gets involved.
It takes a very talented artist to accentuate the best and hide the worst of the
subject. When it's that close to the person's self-image it always flatters the
subject. The Portrait then becomes a mysterious companion and one that the
subject will cherish forever.
The psychology involved is the interaction between the subject and the artist.
It's about likeness and feelings; it's about what lies beneath the surface and that
is the Magic of Portraiture.
