Jaime Sunico is an artist that works with portrait painting. In these portraits are presented solemn faces of anonymous people in a uniform format that generates tensions and correspondences.The portrait is a traditional theme in the history of art, but Súnico focuses  from a risky conceptual perspective. Close-ups of faces are characterized by the use of saturated colors and a distinct material of the compositions. This riot of color and volume provides sculptural bas-relief profile to works. Thus, the paint manifests an explicit sensuality contrast to the harshness with which  Súnico treats the sitters.
