Inspired by an ID picture taken of a young man who is preparing to leave his country for his next chapter.
ID pictures can act as an interesting point of study for a painting; they are simple but they also detail all the features of the person photographed. The subject is supposed to remain still without expressing emotion, yet there’s still a hint of character in ID pictures which captures the attention of the viewer.
