Vincent Fantauzzo Inspires Me!

The handsome artist man named Vincent Fantauzzo inspires me a lot since I saw his artwork of "Heath". He created the last painting of late actor Heath Ledger, just one day before he died. I received the ink was barely dry on this painting when Heath Ledger was found dead. Vincent was just putting the finishing touches on his painting of the star at his Docklands on Tuesday. An one day later he found out Heath Ledger had died. I am shocked that there's a really legend about Heath Ledger, he sat for Fantauzzo on his last visit home to Perth in December, the painting depicts the notoriously private actor as three separate images; and the central, largest, image is of Ledger, bare chested, looking straight ahead, appearing pained and exhausted. I love that two background images are Ledger wearing humorous expressions, whispering into the ears of his foreground image.

Vincent Fantauzzo said he felt privileged to have worked with Ledger. "Heath was a very private person, which is one of the reasons I was so honored that he allowed me to paint him," He told reporters. He was so easy and professional to work with. He didn't need any direction, (he was) absolutely focused. Once done, he was back to his usual charismatic self."

Ledger’s childhood friend, hip hop artist N’fa, told Channel Ten News the actor couldn’t wait to see the finished work. “He was very excited about it. He was very excited to see the finished product,” N’fa said.

N’fa said the picture had captured Ledger perfectly.

“This is the way he always was. He was always a thought ahead. He was the hardest person to play chess against.”

The photo is so lifelike and brilliant in the story that it tells of what Heath was like in his final days.
