Portraits often serve as important state and family records, as well as remembrances. Historically, they have memorialized the rich and powerful. Overtime, however, it became more common for middle-class patrons to commission portraits of their families, friends and colleagues, serving as a biography, telling the story of that person's life,appearance and personality, helping us relive an era, sentiment or memory.
Xing Studios portraits could be either rich in prismatic hues or monochromatic, any single hue against an off white canvas or linen, all in heavy body acrylic paint.
