ESTER CURINI
Introduction Born in Italy.
I am a self taught painter. I specialize in highly detailed pet portraits.
I have found acrylics to be the perfect medium with which to capture the
lifelike quality I strive in my portrait.
Artist’s statement When creating a portrait, the eyes for me are most important.
This is where I begin painting, where I focus my attention
and the base upon which the rest of each pet portrait grows.
Slowly the little details and personality of my subject come to
life on the canvas right before my eyes
