Oil on board
Jesús María Sáez de Vicuña Ochoa’s work has been seen in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Europe. He was a finalist in the 12th International ARC Salon, Portraiture Category 2016 and was a finalist in the Villa de Agreda National Painting Award, 2014.
The portrait is of the artist’s father, whom Sáez de Vicuña Ochoa wanted to try to capture eighty years of life experience in the portrait. The sittings began with pencil sketches to establish the pose followed by colour experiments in oil to define the palette and tone.
