About Kaffee Kang
People have all sorts of unique physical attributes: sizes, shapes, hair color, etc. And we come from various backgrounds: ethnicity, culture, race, etc. And as social beings, we form and belong to different groups: family, friends, profession, etc. It is in the infinite combinations of characteristics that make people the most fascinating of painting subjects for me. Ostensibly, a portrait captures likeness, but it can convey much more. It can reveal personality traits, social and cultural backgrounds, and even the psychological or emotional state of the subject. A portrait connects the artist, the subject, and the viewer in a way that feels very personal. Commissions are available by contacting Arts Wayland.
