Calista Color Study Original Canvas Art

“Calista: Color Study”
This 48" x 48" acrylic portrait is a celebration of bold color, expressive brushwork, and the emotional imprint of a muse who has inspired me through multiple artistic chapters of my life.

Before becoming a painter, I spent years as a professional makeup artist, endlessly fascinated by the faces I worked on and the stories they carried. Calista — a longtime favorite muse — became one of the first people whose features I translated not only through makeup, but through paint.

In this piece, luminous blues and magentas pulse across the canvas, abstracting her shape while preserving her unmistakable presence. The result is a portrait that feels alive — a meeting point between memory, artistry, and color-driven emotion.
