It is October, and as you probably already know, it is the month I usually meet Anastasia Olaru for our annual portrait, so here it is.
It all started in October 2003, 18 years ago, when Anastasia entered my studio for the first time. With that occasion, totally unscheduled, I’ve made her a portrait. Luckily, as a coincidence, Anastasia came again to my studio the following year, in October, and I’ve taken her a second portrait, similar to the first one. From that moment, it was clear to me that this could be an exciting project, so we decided to meet each other again every October, for as long as possible, annually repeating this portrait.
