This series of drawings was inspired by Michelangelo's
Sistine Chapel. Some portraits are directly based on the figures painted on the
vault. Then I painted other faces trying to reproduce that style, and the
characteristics that in my opinion distinguish it: the intense expression of
the faces, the light and half transparent colors as if the aim was to let
emerge the underlying drawing, the profile marked by a darker line, the
background of a mostly uniform sky.
