[3x1 Portraits - museo de rbcdartThe 3x1 format became a thing when I was doing the mirror project. I was trying to duplicate the long skinny mirror I was photographing Ano in. I kinda fell in love with the format and have combined it with Faces or... and a few other themes. Mostly portraits…![](https://static.ghost.org/v5.0.0/images/link-icon.svg)museo de rbcdart![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/92/6d/926d519d-f11f-485f-bd18-8456e07a63e7/content/images/size/w1200/2026/05/blue-eye-2024-1283-Edit-2.JPG)](https://www.rbcdart.com/tag/3x1-portraits/)

 The underprint was a selfie taken by the subject and then emailed to me.   
 In the beginning I had made the eyes very blue and simple (like earlier works in the series). I decided to back them up a bit and make them slightly more realistic... Spent a lot of time on the teeth, lips, and the neck. I was stunned by the photo that acts as an underprint to this piece. The photo was taken after the end of a 6-month ordeal. She was happy at this point. Still, the trauma left traces.   
Multimedia piece on cradled wood by Ampersand 18x6x2." Micron Pens, Posca Pens, Liquitex Acrylics. 2 coats Liquitex Gloss Varnish for the final coat. All wonderfully archival.
