Original artwork description
My work combines pictures/images and paints that I combine on the computer and canvas to create a new image. My favourite subject is the female face. Most of the portraits I create are a mix of four to five faces, mostly of different races and origins. On my computer, I create a new, non-existing person out of them. Besides creating and building new persons I also take pictures in my studio of models that I use. I create a new image with these pictures and the pictures of old walls, grunge posters, and other exciting subjects. I also use existing photographs I manipulate in Photoshop to create new images. When the digital part is ready, I print and start painting the image. I create thick structures and a lot of layers of paint and gel over them. In this way, I try to make the digital image tangible again. My work is not so much about explanation and concept. It is a game and all about the image. I start with no idea in general, but a new image slowly evolves by looking at images that interest me and mixing them.
All works are made on request in any size of preference. Most of these works are a mix of print, paint, grain gel, heavy gel and math/gloss coating. The works are made by hand, individually a bit different in editions of max. 25 pieces.
Materials used:
Print, grain gel medium, heavy gel medium, acrylics, satin coating.
