Sergio,
Gorgeous. The color harmony is lovely, the gaze is compelling and painting is beautiful.

the technique...
Thank You Jimmie and Chris for the comments... The technique is simple: Canson Mi-Teinte paper with Faber Castel Pastel Pencils... Unfortunately however the digital reproduction on the screen does not gives us the slightly "magic" effect which we feel when we are in front of the picture...

Sergio,
Your attention to detail and great ability to bring it forth as something credible is very "Flemish" and brings to mind this school of painting. Congratulations. Very good work.
Carlos

I'm gawking too. This is stunning Sergio! Carlos is right. It is a rare treat to see such sensitive attention to detail realised in such a credible manner. Do you work under a magnifying glass? How razor sharp do you keep those pastel pencils? Your fine motor skills seem super-human. Welcome back, and thanks for sharing this.
Garth

Truly beautiful. What a thrill to just sit and look at. Marvin's right, you're on fire. No pun intended.

Sergio, I have to look that particular Shah's portrait up, the next time I am in Paris. I don't remember seeing it on previous trips, but there is so much to look at at the Louvre that I get visual overload.
I am always amazed at the amount of detail in the miniatures, especially of the post Safavid period and love to someday fuse their intricate application of detail into my own work.
Thanks for the compliment on the web site and Bachi-Bazouk. I have to admit, I was under the spell of 100 different excuses, to avoid working on him. I am at the final stages of cleaning up the painting and that seemes more work than the initial phases. Once I saw your work though, I chided myself for being lazy and went right back to work.
The drive to perfection is an insane love affair. For the longest time you can't stand any sort of seperation and then all of a sudden you can't get away far enough, because you feel you are going to suffocate if you hang around one more second.

Sergio, I find her eyes mesmerizing and I am amzed at your skill of rendering them so lifelike. The eyes remind me of Luis Royo's women's eyes, but I think you have even surpassed him.
By the way, Luis Royo does fantasy art, beauties and beasts in surreal settings.
