CURRENT RELEASE
Elizabeth Under Tadema Sky
Vincent Xeus's "Elizabeth in Tadema Sky" is an enchanting fusion of contemporary and classical aesthetics. The subject, Elizabeth Taylor, emanates an ethereal glow, her alabaster skin and intense gaze forming a captivating contrast against her dark, flowing hair. The backdrop is a homage to Alma-Tadema, a mesmerizing vista of expansive azure skies. The contrast between the sky's limitless beauty and the figure’s solidity creates a visually arresting tension, reflective of the vast human spirit.
Imbued with tranquility and timelessness, this painting is a testament to Xeus's mastery over color, light, and detail. "Elizabeth in Tadema Sky" isn't merely a visual spectacle—it's an exploration of human emotion and experience.

Jewel
Vincent Xeus's "Jewel" is an exquisite demonstration of his unique painting style that merges classical realism with a contemporary sensibility. His work displays a deep understanding of the Old Masters' techniques, yet is infused with a modern and deeply personal interpretation of atmosphere and the subject - Audrey Hepburn.
The figure is depicted with a stunning level of detail, a testament to Xeus's refined brushwork. His deft handling of light and shadow on her complexion creates a luminous quality and depth. This chiaroscuro effect, reminiscent of the techniques used by Old Masters like Rembrandt, imbues the portrait with a three-dimensional quality. The backdrop, a subtle blend of dark, cool atmospheric hues, displays Xeus's expert handling of texture and composition.

Acqua
Inspired by a vintage photograph from the 1950s, “Acqua” exudes a meditative quality in its figuration and atmosphere. The Golden Age cinema was an important influence on Xeus’s early aesthetics and visual language development. The simplified tonal range is deployed to enhance the stylization of the painting while retaining the elegant nostalgic allure of classical portraits. Details are deliberately condensed to take focus away from the narrative but on its emotive experience, connecting the audience with a sense of serenity and freedom.
