Sea Cathedral: manipulated version

This is the Photoshoped version of the Cathedral. I tried to keep the character of the Sea Cathedral and emphasise it. The quality of the image here is very poor and the image itself seems to be out of focus but it remains true to the design.

Face and cubism continued

This is the same face in cubism style but completed with more contrast, ink and collage.

Face and cubism

In a previous blog mail I put some faces and since I have worked more on them to bring, either abstraction, impressionism or cubism.

The Cubism face is more challenging since it involves the understanding of what Cubism is. The explanation that David gave us last Tuesday were most useful. Here is a face that I think is closer to Cubism, even though not totally Cubist, than the ones I had made before.

Street

This image is not completely resolved but I am thrilled that I could get to the stage where is it now. For the first time, I have created a semi abstract piece, bringing in images I have realised in the past.

This digital painting evokes first an old mediaval village street on the lest and finishes up on the right handside with an abstraction of a modern street. In the middle part, a young man face creates the link between them in his own thoughts. Two blocks isolate him from the reality of both streets but the red stings repeated all along operate the link between two types of interpretation of a civilisation.

Once printed on canvas, the colours need uplifting but I am looking forward to paint this image, give it some shine and reveal the central part more.

Picture your own life.

This is the panel of the 9 images for the competition "Picture your own life"
Each image represents an aspect of my life:
The Double Viewer, The Traveller, The Discoverer, The Artist, The Teacher, The Teenager I have never been, The Child in me, The Gypsy, The Surviver.
Two of them were selected : The Traveller and The Artist.
This outcome was the result of an intense collaborative work between teacher and students. It was a most enjoyable and unique experience.

The scream

This is the image of the cooperative assignment we had to do last term. I worked with Annie and Quan. The chosen famous piece was the Scream. Then each of us created our own version of it.

Drawings merged

The image is the result of the merging of a portrait drawn in class and of the photo of the same person. I am aware that the picture has more drawing quality than photographic quality. I made another one that was the opposite and I deleted it from the blog. I still prefer that one because it has more character.
