This 'Free at Last' art painting was inspired by the late former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. A realistic and colourful male portrait by Elle Smith in keeping with the characteristics of this gentleman. His features are captured in an array of oil paints.
This portrait art painting captures the essence of this gentleman, even to the knowing eyes which seemingly depict seeing a wealth of conflict, change and challenge. Portrait art and in particular as an oil painting is a seasoned skill, however UK artist Elle Smith has produced a fine piece of artwork inspired by this gentleman.
