Alec Trevelyan in GOLDENEYE (1995)

The rogue MI6 agent 006 turned to the dark side and become the villain in GOLDENEYE. With the help of his sexy but deadly henchwoman, Xenia Onatopp, he steals from the Russians a Goldeneye satellite which can cause electronic meltdown on earth. Bond has to stop him. All the old USSR symbols, the red star, the hammer and sickle are used elaborately in the superbly done graphic opening title sequence. The gold statue emitting golden ray from the eye, is iconic for this movie. I feel that it's a suitable background for the portrait. Severnaya is the Russian base where Trevelyan steals the Goldeneye control and destroys afterward, by deploying the Goldeneye,  to cover the trace of his crime. (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)
