Commissioned Artwork Salzburg
Commissioned work for a customer from Salzburg - Frida Kahlo
At the beginning of the year I got the order to create a Frida Kahlo picture.
I first painted over the original black+white image and then abstracted, retouched and colored it. It was important to me to set the first color nuances and to let the picture appear in colors, which then also shaped the entire picture composition. A kind of wall/graffiti structure forms the contrast to the figure in the foreground. Here I worked out delicate lines and subtle, warm color areas and then added scratches and graffiti. Another idea came with the floral decoration in the hair. It gives the picture something slightly surreal and is intended to symbolize the delicate, fragile, the beautiful ephemeral with a certain ease, joie de vivre. Fragments of butterflies, dew drops and flower blossoms complete the overall picture.
Thank you Sabrina!
