Portraits are an artistic representation of a person; traditionally the expression is predominant. The idea of them is to display the likeness, personality and even the mood of the subject. These days a lot of portraits are taken using a camera, as this is a relatively quick way to capture an expression and the feeling of a person at that time.
The work that Dietke Fowler does is outstanding as although it is a pencil or charcoal drawing it has the feeling of a photograph instead. Whatever it is the subject is doing smoking, singing, or playing about at http://www.partycasino.com/, Dietke captures pensive emotions and takes the viewer right into the moment. We hope you enjoy the collection.
