“Pastelissy” is a tender and thoughtful portrait that beautifully reflects both artistic expression and personal memory. Created for your dear friend Isa, the piece radiates softness and warmth, capturing her spirit through a pastel palette that feels gentle yet full of life. The work is not only a study of color and form but also a tribute to friendship, memory, and shared history. By choosing to reimagine the same picture in different styles, you highlight the many layers of Isa’s personality while also exploring the flexibility of your own creative vision.
This portrait is part of a series of three paintings all based on the same original image. From the silver print version to this pastel interpretation, each piece brings a new emotional tone and a unique lens through which to view the subject. The title “Pastelissy” carries a double meaning, nodding both to the pastel hues that dominate the work and to the fond memories of pastelitos in Hialeah, a symbol of shared moments and Isa’s sweet nature. The result is an artwork that feels deeply personal while still resonating universally with themes of connection and nostalgia.
