Oil on Panel
40 x 30 cms / 15 ¾ x 11 ¾ inches
Signed Aris R. 25 (lower right)
The Old Guard by Aris Raissis is a powerful oil portrait that embodies the artist’s dedication to classical technique and emotive realism. Rich in character and narrative, this painting captures a dignified figure cloaked in richly textured traditional garments, set against a deep, atmospheric background. The sitter’s proud stance, detailed costume and contemplative gaze evoke both nobility and timeless endurance.
Aris Raissis was born in Cairo in 1962 and is of Greek origin. He studied at The Chelsea School of Fine Art and The Byam Shaw School of Fine Art and graduated in 1985. During his years at art college he concentrated on figurative painting, portraiture and still-life.
From early on, the artist’s aim has always been to reinstate the techniques of the Old Masters, whilst at the same time, selecting contemporary subject matter. His fascination for expressionism and realism is reflected in his work as a whole.
