PORTRAITS AND SELFPORTRAITS
JORDI RODRÍGUEZ-AMAT
I have maintained a strong activity as a portrait artist throughout my creative career. Around 200 portraits and self-portraits have come out of my hands with all possible techniques; drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, etc. to express my love for the person portrayed. The portrait activity, throughout my creative career, has been combined with many other forms of expression within the world of plastic arts. The first portraits date from the time of formation. Since then, I have signed two hundred portraits and self-portraits using many and varied techniques. With more than fifty years of creative activity, the result is around four portraits per year. The activity as a portrait artist has manifested itself in an irregular way throughout my career, as certain periods have been more productive than others. During the years of study at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts between 1960 and 1964 I already felt the vocation for portraiture. Subsequently, the portrait has been a form of expression that has remained constant for me, especially the portrait of those close to me. The portrait requires an absolute mastery of the craft and you must submit to the model, perfectly emphasizing the proportions of the different parts of the face. There are portraits where submission to the model obliged me. There are others where creative freedom has forced me to abandon this subterfuge, and I have transformed the portrait into a purely plastic work, always keeping those traits that, in one way or another, represent the character portrayed. To see these portraits and self-portraits follow the following links:
