Eugene Bortnick is a realist painter, focusing on
portraits and figures. He works mainly in watercolor media;
however, his creativity also extends into acrylics, pastels,
and oils.
|
| |
| His techniques,
expanding beyond a particular medium, allow him the freedom
to create intense personal character studies of both clothed
and nude subjects, as well as situational groups. Dr. Bortnick's
paintings are poignant and psychologically revealing. |
| |
| Dr. Bortnick's
self-confidence in painting evolved over a period of more than
sixty years. As a child, his mother taught him to draw and encouraged
his talents by enrolling him in The
Kansas City Art Institute. His medically exacting profession
as a facial plastic surgeon, along with his knowledge of anatomy
and facial features, allows Dr. Bortnick to capture the precise
likeness of a person and convey this into an exciting visual
story of a particular personality. |
