Original artwork description:

This collage is made of a portrait of famous male model Augusta Alexander. I like its ambiguity, because it is one of the most handsome men, very active and agile, in a moment of reflection.

The collage is made of spray paint, photos and epoxy resin on canvas. The resin reflects the light of the room, from very shadowy and melancholy to very bright. It creates a water drop effect, reminding me of the sea and its salty breeze.

It is inspired by Andy Warhol, who was famous for his replications. But we live in a new age, replicating became different and the faces, models, objects need an update. This is a study, combining Andy Warhol's idea with Augusta Alexanders portrait.

I am very inspired by the contradictions of this portrait. I use it in most of my oeuvres and always find new ways of looking at it, it inspires me daily.

IMPORTANT: None of my artwork is perfect, they are organic, there are drops of paint, tears in the paper, waves, glue residues. They are original!

Materials used:

resin, spray paint, paper
