This picture is a portrait of famous male model Augusta Alexander, that I would call "the tear". I like its ambiguity, because he is one of the most handsome men, very active and agile, in a moment of melancholy, sadness, crying.
I am very inspired by the contradictions of this portrait. I use it in most of my oeuvres and always find new ways of looking at it, it inspires me daily.
The collage is made of Paper, Spray Paint, with a thin layer of Epoxy Resin for durability. The resint reflects the light of the room, from very shadowy and melancholy to very bright. So it changes with the room, adapts to the light.
This artwork was inspired by cubism, Braque and Picasso, as well as Fritz Lang's movie "Metropolis." The beginning of the 20th century fascinates me, the 1910/ 1920s. The dreams about robots, the industrial age, the surrealism, Man Rays photos as well. In this collage I want to reflect all these inspirations, to digest them and to create something new.
IMPORTANT: None of my artwork is perfect, they are organic, there are drops of paint, tears in the paper, waves, glue residues. They are original!
SHIPPING: The costs for the shipping are estimates, depending on the size of the picture, the weight and the region it is shipped to. But I refund all my customers in case I have charged too much.
