There is something deeply personal about Horacio’s portraits. Apart from the obvious skill with which they are made, they show us something about the connection he has to each sitter. They are not glitzy, glamorous, or slick, but rather, are earnest expressions of human qualities, whether a dignified display of masculinity, or a demure, genteel sense of the feminine. These portrayals have a sense of the quiescent–a peaceful, non-judgmental view of what is so, tenderly rendered, elemental traits of strength and love expressed and honored above flash, fame, notoriety and all superficial worldly success.
