This expressive alla prima portrait offers a poignant tribute to the depth and complexity of Robin Williams, capturing the delicate balance between joy and vulnerability that defined so much of his public presence. Painted in a single, spontaneous session, the brushwork remains energetic and raw, allowing emotion to sit close to the surface. The sharp blue of the eyes is intentionally ambiguous—inviting the viewer to decide whether they reflect a moment of quiet laughter or the edge of tears—symbolising the duality of humour and hidden struggle. With warm tones contrasted against a subdued background and a vivid blue tie anchoring the composition, the piece sensitively honours the actor’s brilliance while acknowledging the mental health challenges he faced.
