check out his portrait of fabrice muamba and the explanation of the key in the picture, outstanding.

So well said Gatto Nero. It really was thrilling wasn't it, I was excited for him and because of him. In one way I felt bad for all the other very talented artists who have been on the show because he seemed to be the outstanding talent amongst all their talent, on any of the shows. He is truly brilliant. Having said that seeing his brilliance doesn't diminish their indivual and incredible talents; it just hi - lights his brilliance whilst amongst such other amazing artists. His smiley personality, along with such determination to challenge himself and learn through every painting, is so endearing and engaging. I was riveted to that commission episode of his, I hope its repeated soon.

Oh I did thankyou @Chris Barker. Apart from being a genius imo, and I'm not one to bandy that word around, he is soulful, insightful, thoughtful and giving and these qualities shine through his amazing work. This man blows my mind🤯

Christian can truly take his place among the masters of art in this century.

What a beautiful comment.

Brava!

I was watching to see if deference would be given the Maharajah, so was His Highness.

Westerners often don’t know subtleties of deference to dignitaries because we don’t have them

Careful. Maharajah upon their meeting indicated for Christian to take a seat which Christian did.

Awwww,, "ineptitude" indeed.. that's in one shop... one shop - where they have their own method of framing. India is a huge country, and I am an artist, who gets her paintings framed the "sophisticated" Western way!. As for "back in the dark ages".. Really? Generalisation of a huge country based on your experience in one shop in one city? Really?! What does that say about you, that you disrespect a country and its people while enjoying their hospita;ily, friendliness, and politeness - Which age does that put you in? Thanks for mentioning the "exquisite, insanely beautiful" traditional Rajasthani style.artwork.. Indian art, of every region is unique, and goes back, way way back.. to the "dark ages",, as you put it, But it is wonderful how all of you care and are so generous about girls being trafficked in India, human trafficking is such a terrible crime happening world wide, isn't it?

Umm.. India has many "ways" of traveling.. So glad you enjoyed the "exotic" "quirks and curves" of our Indian ways 🤩

True! The audio was very bad, it was difficult to hear the people's voices. Thankfully my favourite piece of classical music was audible. 🎶🎵🎶The Hummingbird Trust is of vital importance, but it will have little success until the men who pay to have sex with these young girls don't understand what a horrific thing they are doing to these girls' bodies, and the laws are changed accordingly. As for Christian, his work is amazing. His eyes are like lasers when he studies his sitter and he captures the man behind the outside appearance. He is a very special man. 🤗

Robin Gagan and trafficked humans

Yes - its amazing that given the artistic wonders of architecture, jewellery making, painting and design in India, the framing was such a challenge!

Insanely so.
