A passion for portraits

Gabriela Zapien

I’m fascinated by the human face… no two are alike and each one of them can express and transmit so many different emotions. I could paint the same face a hundred times and always find something new and interesting. I’ve been painting portraits for more than 20 years and I’ve explored many different mediums and techniques: oil, acrylic, watercolor, pencil, digital. I’m currently focusing on oil and cold wax.
