Russell creates unusual, but very realistic artworks, painting portraits on his palms! The speed of his work is also amazing: he creates the paintings so quickly that the paint simply does not have time to dry out.
Due to this, Russell manages to make a so-called Hand stamping. The artist presses his hand to a blank sheet of paper, thereby transferring a portrait to it. His style he jokingly calls “Handstamping.”
The sophisticated technique of drawing, the speed of creation and extremely inconvenient working surface allowing the artist to make accurate and very live portraits.
The faces look very beautiful, realistic, and, most importantly, this technique is allowing the artist to create and feature the smallest details.
The lines on the palms and fingers stamped on the ordinary white paper spread a unique charm, subtle refinement and cosmic uniqueness.
The collection of painting portraits by the artist is wide and already contains John Lennon’s “prints,” Emilia Clarke, Johnny Depp, Bob Marley, Kurt Cobain, Robin Williams, David Bowie, Dalai Lama, Marilyn Monroe, and Many others.
