COMMISSION A PORTRAIT

what is an energy portrait

Energy portraits are reflections of people’s inner energies. These portraits are not meant to capture physical likeness but to convey the energetic essence of my subjects in an entirely free and unrestricted abstract form. I serve as a conduit, allowing creative energy to manifest in visible space through the medium of pen and paper.

In this creative process, I immerse myself in a state of flow, where my intuition guides every stroke. The shapes and lines that emerge are not bound by traditional forms; they represent the unique vibrational frequencies of each individual. Each portrait becomes a journey for me, an exploration of the unseen dimensions of personality and spirit.

How to Understand and Read Energy Portraits

Energy portraits are meant to be experienced on a deeper level. To help you understand my graphic works, I’ve created a guide on how to interpret the elements of my art.

General Guide for Understanding My Drawings:

  • Form and Space: In all my works, there is a dialogue between form and space.

  • Colors: I use only black and white. One is the form, and the other is the space. In most of my pieces, black represents the form, and white is the infinite space around it.

  • The Canvas: The sheet of paper acts as a window, showing a portion of the infinite space where these forms exist.

  • The Alphabet of Composition: My compositions are built from points, lines, and planes. The point is always the letter “A” in this alphabet.

  • Relative Perception: The size of the point is always relative to the surrounding space and should be interpreted in its context.

  • Symbolism:

    • A point represents life.
    • A spiral represents life over time.
    • A triangle symbolizes war.
    • Oval, tangled forms symbolize death.

Guide for Interpreting Energy Portraits:

1. Whole, Dynamic Energy: This indicates healthy, strong energy in harmony with the universe, extending beyond the canvas. 

2. Unique, Personal Energy: Vibrant, individual energy that reflects the beauty and uniqueness of life. 

3. Linear, Dynamic Energy with Twists: Represents personal character, with a clear beginning and end, and may provide insights or suggestions for improvement.

4. Energy in the Shape of an Eight: Suggests attempts to harmonize and evolve, often containing hints for growth.

5. Tangled, Oval Energy Forms: Symbolizes conflict, destruction, or illness. 

6. Whole, Closed Energy Forms: Energy directed inward, focused on self-reflection. May also contain suggestions or guidance. 

Ordering Process:

How the portrait is created (steps and timing):

  • To create an energy portrait, I need to know the person’s name and see their direct gaze. This can be through a photo or video.
  • The creation of the portrait takes one week from the time I receive all the necessary information and payment.
  • During the process, I enter a state of creative flow to accurately capture the subject’s energetic essence.

Cost, timing, formats (size and materials):

  • The cost of one portrait is 240 CAD (or equivalent in your currency).
  • Shipping is calculated separately and depends on your location.
  • Portrait size: 10 × 8 inches (25.5 x 20.5 cm).
  • The portrait will be presented in a minimalist black frame under glass. The final framed size is 14.5 x 11.5 inches (37 x 29 cm), ready to hang.
