Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

In this work, the artist's clear aim is to create an iconic image, one that doesn't reproduce the subject's features, but rather provides a powerfully symbolic effigy. This process is achieved primarily through the use of color, which gives the subject a fleeting plasticity in the impalpability of white. Also noteworthy is the artist's flair for the hair, which features an expressionistic hatching.

From an analysis of this work, we can appreciate the artist's predominantly Symbolist approach to art. The image he creates goes beyond mere appearance to find deeper meaning in an iconic and minimalist rendering.
