Voltaire - Modern portrait painting in acrylic on canvas

Voltaire, modern contemporary portrait painting on canvas.
Portrait of the philosopher and writer Voltaire painted in acrylic in a wave of purple, the color of the mind and spirituality.

The video documents the creation of a portrait of Voltaire, realized in acrylic paint on canvas. The depiction combines classical portraiture with a modern, reduced formal language. The aim was to make Voltaire's characteristic charisma as an enlightened thinker visible in a contemporary expression.
The work dispenses with traditional staging and concentrates on gaze, posture and presence. The result is a quiet but expressive image that relates past and present.
