Portrait of the Corinthian

Oil on Canvas

Roc-Roussey’s slightly eccentric imagination helps him envision mythical legends and use themes from neo-classicism and the Renaissance that he mixes with elements from the Middle Ages and Eastern civilizations. The artist paints over-sized figures and portraits, accentuating dramatic proportions, yet maintaining a gracefulness in their body language.  Using a jewel-toned palette of indigo blue, red, gold and silver he adorns the figures with magnificently embellished costumes. Roc-Roussey’s unique signature style is to place these spectacular images upon a tumultuous, yet undefined backdrop.
