Celebrities past and present, immortalised in realistic depictions of their faces.
This page contains the work of Freelance Russian Artist Olga Kozyreva. She originally graduated from the Academy of Architecture in Moscow. An example of how career paths can change and branch out to different interests.
All of the drawings on this page are brought to life using graphite pencils, The only exception is the one of actress Kate Winslet. That was achieved using color pencils.
My favourites are chosen on an objective assessment of the qualities of the drawings. There are two which make that list for me:
The first is the one of actor Robert Pattinson. You don't usually see him in full beard. Plus, the angle at which his face is drawn, gives his face a different look. The expression, reinforced by the creasing in the forehead, gives strength to the overall piece.
The second is of singer-songwriter John Lennon. This is a very soulful image. The previous portrait was taken from a slightly elevated position. This one, from a slightly lowered one. Another direct look from the portrait, to the artist and us, the viewer. An expression of full of strength, but one which is relaxed and measured.
The two pictures are opposite in some ways, whilst sharing twinned aspects, at the same time. Have a look and see if my words mirror what you see in the images.
Have a wonderful Sunday and I will see you tomorrow.
