"Portrait of an Artist" documents the Annual Portrait Award Exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London, U.K. where more than 2500 paintings from 84 countries compete for a place among the 44 final selects and only three Award winners.
Unravelling the stories behind some of the most evocative portrait paintings "Portrait of an Artist" brings together artist and sitter, who talk about their deeply personal experiences behind the paintings. Exploring the fabric of their insecurities around self-doubt, body image, depression, we learn how the process of portraiture allows both the artist and sitter to go on a journey of discovery.
