Oil on canvas
Shawn Polmo’s figures command attention—rooted in his distinctive style, they exude a quiet confidence, their steady gazes both assured and enigmatic. Through bold contours and a refined balance of light and shadow, Polmo crafts portraits that feel timeless yet immediate. Each brushstroke carries an intentionality that amplifies the presence of his subjects, drawing the viewer into their world. His work is an exploration of self-possession, strength, and the unspoken narratives held within a single, unwavering stare.
Size: 14.0 x 11.0 inches
