Festival Soul – Glasto Smile

In this bold, stylised portrait, Ian Livesey distils a moment of joy and calm amid the chaos of Glastonbury. The close crop frames a bearded man in mid-laugh, reclined inside a festival vehicle, hat tipped and eyes crinkled with ease. Rendered in a painterly, abstract finish, the soft blend of earthy tones and pastel reflections from the window behind create a layered, almost dreamlike quality. It’s a visual celebration of the human spirit at festivals — where stories are shared, time slows, and smiles are everything.
