Portrait art can be traced back to ancient times, and existing portraits from China date back to 1000 A.D. Funeral portraits from Egypt and Europe show the person in life. The artist's intent is to depict his or her subject. Yet a portrait is more than a literal likeness and conveys a person's personality as well.
Until the mid-20th century, portraits were commissioned primarily by the rich and powerful, and portraits can be a part of state and family records. Self portraits are usually achieved through the use of a mirror.
Novica's portrait oil paintings are distinguished by the medium's clarity of color.
