Pouridou Vasiliki

Greek painter Vasiliki Pouridou makes contemporary portraits you can still recognize as people, not symbols. In her 2006 Portrait, a face appears on canvas with soft, layered brushstrokes that feel quiet and close-up. You’ll notice how the colors sit flat against the background, almost like a snapshot that’s been gently smoothed out. If you like looking at faces and how artists capture them today, tap into Portrait to see how the plain details add up.
