The transmitted original photograph was processed digitally and analogously in 4 layers. The picture was abstracted and then colored and retouched. The image section has been changed, the portrayed is now in the middle and so I have chosen a classic portrait format for further revision. The background structure was created painterly with soft and strong brushstrokes, acrylic paint and spatula technique. Then spray paints were added. Again and again the images in the composition were manipulated to create a coherent overall picture. Then works from art history (Christian Schussele, Ocean Life) were inserted with works from my sketchbooks (flower on the right). I brought the client's cat into the composition at the top right. The birds (top left) and the butterflies (right and left) have been added to give the dreamy thinker look a certain lightness. Watercolors and pencil drawings formed the colorful and lively conclusion of an enriching work. Overall, the work has become very complex. There are many details that let the eye wander and invite you to the final cover.
Thank you for your order!
