Thomas

Commissioned portrait bust

Thomas is a life-size commissioned portrait bust developed through sustained observation and refinement, with an emphasis on likeness, structure, and quiet presence. The work favors restraint over overt expression, allowing character to emerge through proportion, form, and subtle asymmetry.

Sculpted in earthenware clay, the portrait prioritizes the underlying architecture of the head and neck, with surface refinement serving the likeness rather than dominating it. Natural transitions and measured variations are preserved to maintain authenticity and vitality.
