Jon Snow – Portrait

Jon Snow – Portrait by Virginie Martin Blaise is an oil-on-canvas-board portrait that explores character and emotional restraint through a measured and atmospheric approach to figurative painting.

The figure is shown in three-quarter profile, wrapped in a fur cloak that introduces texture and weight to the composition. Cool blues and muted greys dominate the palette, contrasting with warmer flesh tones and reinforcing a sense of distance and introspection.

Inspired by a fictional character rendered with painterly realism, this work focuses on presence rather than narrative. The intimate scale encourages close viewing, allowing subtle variations of expression and surface to emerge gradually.
