German artist Deenesh Ghyczy believes that realistically reproducing the appearance of a person in a portrait is not the main thing. You need a slight deformation, something like ripples in the water over a traditional portrait - and now you get a mysterious canvas with a "double bottom".
Dinesh Gizzi lives and works in Berlin. His method of creating a portrait is simple - he draws the same person from different angles, from different points of view, and then superimposes the resulting images on top of each other. This is how a multidimensional canvas is formed, in which several paintings are enclosed at once - but they all work for the general idea: the most complete reflection of the very essence of the hero.
The goal of Gizzi, in his own words, is to expose the "true self of man", which, as a rule, is "hidden behind numerous masks." The technique that the artist resorts to allows not to be confined to the study of insignificant external features of a person: the clear outlines of the human body are lost, and he "fills the whole space".
Every portrait painter is looking for special ways to express himself. So, French Pierre Emmanuelle Godet depicts people with a single stroke of the pen, and the know-how Beck Winnell - gentle, but, moreover, almost "glamorous" glossy pastel colors. Dinesh Gizzi is not lost against the background of his numerous and also talented colleagues. His unique technique allows, according to the artist himself, not only to enjoy the mastery of the brush - it is designed to serve "an energetic exchange between the viewer and the one who is depicted." Energy exchange does indeed take place, although it is different for everyone: some Internet users write in their comments to Gizzi's works that such portraits make them "dizzy".

His name is known and respected all over the world. On the second - Thomas Cromwell, the son of a simple blacksmith, who became the right hand of King Henry VIII himself and one of the most influential people of that time. When placed next to each other, it may seem that they are in the same room and are looking directly into each other's eyes. This is not the case, though. Poltys
