Barack Obama Yes We Can
Description:
(Based on a photo by Bill Burke, pageonephoto.com)
So, my first Barack Obama portrait is finished.
I think it is quite different from the portraits I have seen from him on the net. On most of them the artists emphasize only one aspect of his personality.
This is not what I wanted.
I wanted to paint Obama as a human being, with all his facets:
his humanity, his leadership, his honesty, his hopes, his decisiveness?
Of course I never met him personally, so it can only be the Barack Obama I perceive through the TV and the photos I have seen from him. And I saw all of these qualities on his face.
I can only hope that I have caught a little bit of his soul?
And if you are wondering what he is counting?. words of course:
?Yes We Can!?
My special thanks go to Bill, from pageonephoto.com, who allowed me to use one of his photos to make this portrait.

About:
Miki, a long short story...
Miki is a professional French artist, born in the Pyrenees,
Her works have been sold and published worldwide.
Her painting is a reflection of her life: a permanent oscillation between light and shadow, lines and shapes, times and places, always looking for that equilibrium which she can only find in continuous movement, in the mysterious and the unknown. A life divided between two passions: mathematics and painting. The first as a supreme form of abstract art ruling her universe... The second as a way of cementing the beauty of that art.
Miki, about herself:
Passionate.
Impatient.
Unappeasable,
uncontrollable!
I prefer dancing on a volcano rather than to sit at home!
I love the colour, the contrast, the ordered chaos, the desert and the ocean
And all that, always, fairly strewn with humour and chocolate flakes!
And who ever you are, what ever you do, which ever language you speak, I will be happy to have you on board in my boat floating upon the seas of all our universes.
