Falconeris Marimón is a conceptual artist and life model whom I paint regularly.

This was probably one of the quickest watercolour paintings I’ve done of the human figure, completed in just 40 minutes.

It captured Falco’s profile, with the contours of his body shaped through minimal forms and economical brushstrokes. His unclothed torso was rendered with subtle transitions of light, shadow, and reflected light, standing out against a vibrant backdrop of reds, pinks, and purples. The warm, expressive background heightened the mood and atmosphere, giving the portrait an intimate and contemplative quality.
