Juliana, it seems to me that the portraits are very opportunistic. As confirmed by the "portraits of the nobility." What kind of know? Nobles in the seventh knee? I doubt it.
All together very much like some kind of a mixture of Russian Shilov and Safronov, which, of course, does not honor the artist. Although such a paste-like smear, as he could be real masterpieces to create.
I remembered a wonderful old film "Bunny" Genius Leonid Bykov. There was a remarkable phrase: "Love art in yourself, not yourself in art!". While the "your" artist, in my opinion, corresponds to the second part of the sentence (and its site on the same straight-away screaming), but I want to wish him a change of priorities.
To write, so to speak, to know - it is monetary, but it has nothing to do with real art, often accompanied by contempt for colleagues (and not losers) and in the creative plan leads to the abyss. And by the way: great prospects for the art-market and big money at auctions here does not smell. On the other hand, each artist decides how to dispose of their abilities, in that they consume.
