Artistic style
Cesar’s artistic style is reflective of his perception of how he views the daily wonders of the world. He focuses on bringing out the muted background nuances with bright colors and doing a romantic glorification of the beauty of nature. Cesar’s still life paintings and portraits are a culmination of confident strokes, unexpected contrasts, and a reflection of the smallest details of life. In order to create an honest depiction of the landscape, Cesar tries to incorporate a huge variety of mood tones with a minimum of color shades that rightfully portray the subject of his paintings.[4]
A handful of Cesar’s works that are either authenticated or attributed to him have been regarded as among the great masterpieces such as his portrait of Queen Elizabeth. Cesar incorporates innovative techniques that highlight his detailed knowledge of landscape and portrait paintings, capturing figurative composition of places and people. Cesar’s work is a representation of his personal vision combined with optimal use of color, brushstrokes, inventive perspectives, colors, contours, and designs.[5]
