THE OLD SPANIARD

1994, Oil on Canvas, 20 x 16 in. (50.8 x 40.6 cm.)

The liquid azure sky of the Mediterranean and its mysterious pull inspired the artist, who balances the buttery surface of the sky and sea with the craggy face of an old man in this simple yet dramatic portrait. To achieve depth of color and glowing surface, Conine worked in multiple layers of sheer paint.
