Rooted by the past, Jason Montinola’s exquisite renditions of classical figures are influenced by his interest in world encyclopaedias, and classical paintings from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The work reflects his passion for art historical themes, featuring a masked man wearing an intricate tailored suit with signature lace collar.
