This time I was commissioned by Elaine W. Ng, editor and publisher of Art Asia Pacific, the longest running art magazine dedicated to cover contemporary art and culture within Asia, the Pacific and the Middle East. I was lucky enough to participate in this annual Almanac edition. I was asked to create 10 portraits for the obituaries section, which celebrates individuals in the art world that have passed away this year.
