“This is a portrait of my father. It was painted using a photograph that I had taken of him in 2011 as reference. It was one of many photographs I had taken of him after his first round of chemotherapy, two years before he passed away. It was this image, I felt, most clearly captured the stoic attitude he portrayed through the entire process of his treatment.”
