Xaveria is from The Netherlands and was introduced to me by long time Portraits artist Max Rugers.
Since she was a child she's loved the art of drawing. While growing up, life got in the way and it sort of faded into the background, but it never disappeared completely. Over the years she kept finding herself drawn back in.
She is a self-taught artist and she is extremely interested in the process of creating a piece. She says that it’s satisfying to see something slowly come to life and loves to experiment during this process, trying out different things, discover new materials and new ways of working.
It will be very exciting to see what she brings to each of her portraits. You can see more of her work here and here.
Her first character is a Roman Citizen from August, in Fables And Reflections.
Augustus Caesar and the dwarf Lycius spend the day sitting on some steps near the marketplace dressed as beggars. As citizens pass they discuss politics, power, personal legacy and dreams.
This citizen is spending the afternoon in the Roman market near the steps where Caesar and Lycius are sitting.
He appears in one of the panels that contains a large number of other Roman citizens, which is visually amazing, but incredibly crowded with Roman Citizens.
This panel is in Sandman # 30, page 13, and is panel 4.
