“I chose Eugene to paint my portrait because I really liked the lovely rich thick texture of the oil paint ... His images are bold and colourful without being too bright or gaudy.
His portrait heads put me in mind of the work of Augustus John. Eugene is able to capture more than just a likeness when he makes a link between the sitter and the oil paint.”

“I think it is extraordinary, exceptional. The portrait shows me during a rare quiet moment; looking reflective, it has captured my roots.”
