"Cadmium Renaissance" is a contemporary oil painting executed in the refined manner of the Old Masters. The noble profile and the richly detailed lace ruff evoke the elegance of late Renaissance portraiture. The cadmium red covers the entire surface of the painting and acts as a striking focal element, adding a strong modern visual tension that transforms the classical theme into a bold and current artistic statement.
