Commissioned Artwork Graz
The original photographs for this work have been subtly revised so that photographic details are easy to recognize, but fine, abstracted so that they fit well into the overall composition. The customer's image requests, a portrait of Sissi + Franz, Fuschl Palace, Schönbrunn Palace and a photograph of Verona were integrated into the overall ensemble and arranged so that the photographs formed the basis in the image structure, the foundation in the lower third of the image and symbolically in the upper one Part of the transition to the symbolic Sissi + Franz figures. Behind it, monochrome fragments of Verona photography keep peeking out. Sissi and Franz are intentionally arranged a little out of the center of the picture, in between, a soft, orderly color element in pink has been introduced, which symbolizes protection and order. In general, a lot of painterly pictures were made for this picture and these were inserted into the composition step by step. Luminous colors, pastel tones and slightly muted colors in the architecture pictures - which are otherwise too "heavy" - alternate and are well balanced. Spray painting, water and enamel colors, charcoal and chalk pens as well as decollages and poster fragments create a good depth in the picture and provide exciting details and create beautiful accents.
Thank you Nicole and Christian for letting me create this picture for you.
