Portrait painting pursues and expresses the beauty of human form and sense of life, and I think that caricature is to depict the unique expression of a person.
The portrait must be a combination of both, taking into account the inner feelings of the individual and the life style and appearance of the person.
It must not only be similar, but also express the dignity of a human being born into this world. Thank you.
