About the Item
"The Turk" is an oil on linen painting. A portrait of a Turkish man, wearing a red "fez" hat with tassel, and holding an old fashioned wooden smoking-pipe. Well-dressed with a white dress shirt, brown sport jacket, and black tie. Painted in the style of classical realism, this traditional portrait is reminiscent of portraits from the 19th and early 20th Centuries. Thick white brushstrokes accentuate light hitting the man's face.
Frame Dimensions 33 x 25.25in
Framed in a traditional, washed wood frame with gold trim.
"I was born in Narvik, Norway in 1998 and was raised living part time in the north of Norway and part time in the tropical climate of Anna Maria Island, Florida. At the age of 11 I started painting after my uncle introduced me to some art in a surfing magazine. At the age of 19 I moved to Florence, Italy to study classical art for 6 years. Now I am based out of Florence and I make art for a living.
Growing up my grandfather would tell me incredible stories; Viking sagas, world history, stories of his trips into the mountains and
across the world. He was an inspirational storyteller. I believe he instilled in me a deep passion to tell my own stories, to go out into the world and search for them on my own. What for him was oral story telling is for me visual story telling. Therefore, my mission as an artist is to let my brushes guide me to discovering my own language. With paint and some pencils, I wish to explore different cultures, philosophy, the past, and my relationship to it all. I tend to speak quite monotone but color and brushstrokes let me tell a more vibrant story."

Among My Souvenirs : artwork in the genre of narrative realism
Located in New York, NY
Painting by a contemporary artist Audrey Ushenko.
Audrey Ushenko works in the genre of narrative realism. Her works are rich, complex figurative and still life paintings. They are stories of recurring human issues often prompted by a twisted reality. Ushenko’s earlier works where primarily mythological and allegorical. Her later works are focused on depicting human situations and interactions of people who are both living and dead. These paintings represent social situations, timeless stories and enduring issues that are rendered with a contemporary twist.
Always a significant element in Ms. Ushenko’s work is her integration of Venetian Renaissance methods of paint application with Impressionist color and light theory. The combination of the old masters’ technique of glazing the canvas and carefully layered surfaces of paint enhance the luminosity of Ushenko’s work.
Audrey Ushenko has exhibited her work extensively throughout the United States including several shows at Denise Bibro Fine Art, NYC; the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, IN; The National Academy of Design, NYC; University Museum, Southeast Missouri State University, Cape Girardeau...
