Aart Verrips, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

This striking photographic portrait by Aart Verrips features a dramatic close-up composition focusing on a subject's face. The skin is entirely coated in a thick layer of matte white makeup, creating a stark canvas. Splatters of vibrant orange powder are heavily concentrated across the bridge of the nose and cheeks. The subject has piercing bright blue eyes and a septum piercing. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the textural contrast between the smooth white paint and the granular texture of the powder.
