The Master

This is a sample from my portrait series on the Chinese Shaolin kung fu master Sifu Shi Yan Ming. I took numerous snapshots of him in his temple in New York which I later turned into paintings. I often seek out intense subjects who complement my dynamic style. In each piece I tried to depict the raw, concentrated energy of this warrior monk. The ferocity of his movements and facial expressions is contained within the tight format but at the same time bursting out of it.
