We love them. Rock stars, movie stars, art world icons. And we love pictures of them. Most of the portraits we see today document our abstract notions of what is best and what is worst—in them and in ourselves. That's why they work. The portrait as a means of artistic expression and human understanding remains important and vital.

It is certainly a big aspect of Søren Rønholt's work: the invisible dialogue between the people he portrays and himself is undeniable. Most of the characters he portrays may be famous, but that's not the point. He uses every ounce of his empathy to create images of real people. Despite the clever, accentuating mood and strong, often monochromatic style, what he seeks is the truth behind the face.
