About this artwork
We look this man straight in the eyes, and he looks back just as directly. His gaze is questioning, somewhat skeptical, but also curious. He is no longer young and has probably seen a lot in life. The picture invites the viewer to reflect on the facets of human emotion. Oscar Wilde once said, "Every portrait painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the person who sat for it." Well, it's certainly both; however, the feelings we experience…
when looking at it depend primarily on which chords within us the emotionality of the picture strikes a chord with.

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
Hjalmar Thelen (1962–2017) was a Berlin painter and draftsman who made the unspectacular visible: faces, places, and everyday scenes. His works—on paper, cardboard, or canvas—are direct, concentrated, and characterized by quiet precision. Without academic training, but with a clear eye and a delicate touch, he created over 2,000 works. His art is quiet, figurative, narrative—and characterized by respect for what is depicted. His studio was his apartment, but he most enjoyed traveling by bicycle, armed with a field easel and paints, along Berlin's canals, rivers, and lakes.
