THE PURPOSE OF A PORTRAIT Portraits are clear reflections of the ones we love for the enjoyment of the present and visual pieces of genealogy for future posterity. They can be tangible memories of fleeting childhood or of the timeless beauty of the aged. Portraits do something that is hard to duplicate. The artist places every stroke while remembering the personality of that person, thus, providing substance and breath into the portrait. Below, you will a sample of Boni's portraits.
