Kurt the Hermit

Many years ago, Kurt made the courageous decision to live alone in a modest shack on his property amidst the vineyard. Disappointed by his family, he retreated and found solace in the life of a recluse. As he shared his simple yet fulfilling life with me, I immediately felt compelled to portray him in front of his humble abode, right where he spends most of his time and where his soul finds its home. His eyes glowed with excitement as he shared his story with me. I could feel the spark of his enthusiasm as I began taking photos. Each moment was precious, and I endeavored to capture the right expression, his gestures, and nuances. It was more than just a photoshoot; it was the capture of a life filled with determination and contentment.
Among the many captivating moments I captured with my camera, I chose this one photo to serve as the perfect reference for my drawing. This image captures Kurt exactly as he is and lives, authentic and unadulterated, deeply connected to his simple lifestyle. It was more than just a picture; it was a window into Kurt's soul, a moment captured for eternity and now brought to life in my drawing.
