It was at the age of 25 when Joseph’s love for the craft blossomed. As a creative and struggling actor in Los Angeles, he found art as a way to express himself freely. Painting became his way of being creative in a buzzing city and being grounded and mentally refreshed. After a year of trial and error and honing his technical skills, Joseph began developing his own style of painting and has since then become a successful artist in his own right.

Like being scrubbed from existence. Forehead and ear suggests a fine painting underneath the knife strokes :)
Wow. I would love to see this in person. I'm sure the 2d representation doesn't do the texture justice, but even in a photo it looks so expressive. Beautiful painting.
