Original artwork description:

This series documents a process of figurative reinterpretation that starts with photographs of iconic Hollywood actors from the Golden Era, taken by Leo Fuchs during the 50s and 60s. Attracted of the contrasting idea of intimacy and privacy, while being a very recognizable and famous persona, I’ve chosen images that depict intimate moments of the actors at the time, reinterpreting them in oil. The paintings incorporate many imagined textures and patterns, as if being the creation of each character imagination.

Dreaming: based on a photograph of Gena Rowlands, taken in 1961 at the Hollywood studios for The Spiral Road
