“Platinum Plus Issy” is a striking portrait that draws inspiration from the timeless elegance of vintage photography. Created for your dear friend Isa, the work reimagines her likeness in pure platinum tones, stripping the subject down to light and shadow in a way that feels both classic and modern. The absence of vibrant color directs attention to the subtleties of form, expression, and atmosphere, allowing Isa’s character to emerge with quiet strength and sophistication. It is a piece that honors not only the subject but also the history of photographic portraiture.

This painting is part of a thoughtful series of three, each interpreting the same image through a different lens. While one version bursts with color and another embraces pastels, “Platinum Plus Issy” channels the visual language of silver print photography, grounding the series in a sense of history and permanence. The choice of platinum tones creates a luminous surface that feels reflective and enduring, capturing Isa in a way that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
