Profile of Alex 2018

"Profile of Alex," created in 2018 by Aaron Nagel, is a realistic portrait painting of a young man in profile view. The subject's light hair and delicate features are rendered with impressive detail, creating a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The painting's dark background emphasizes the subject's form and draws the viewer's focus to their expression. Nagel's contemporary approach to portraiture, with its emphasis on realism and psychological depth, makes this work a compelling example of contemporary figurative art.
