THE LESTER PRIZE | ILLUMINE_ALUMNI COLLECTION
Shining a light on our celebrated finalists: we explore what motivates them to make art, the stories they tell and the themes they pursue.
Ep 02
Artist Name: Lisa Axiotis
Finalist: 2019
Artist quote: “I see portraits as more than a collection of eyes and ears, nose and mouth. A portrait is the idea of a person, viewed through the artist's hand, at a particular moment in time. It is exquisitely revealing and exposes both the artist and the sitter, simultaneously. To me, a good portrait breathes—it is very much alive.”
