Heath Ledger’s Sad Final Portrait

To add to the sad tale that surrounds Heath Ledger’s death, an Australian artist named Vincent Fantauzzo has unveiled a painting the actor sat for just weeks before his death. Vincent Fantauzzo says his final product is the ‘result of an intense collaboration‘ between the two.

“Before we did the painting we talked to all hours,” he says. “The night before, we talked about the painting and about art, and about all sorts of things.” The haunting image “was an idea we discussed together and came up with… it was about how we all have different consciences and voices in our head that tell us what to do and how to react. They’re not good or bad, they’re just voices that we hear, telling us how to behave. That’s what the other figures are in the painting.”

The artist also spoke to the Heath’s mental state saying that he “was really serious and focused and almost in a meditation. He’s quite serious.”
