Original artwork description:

I confess that I believe in contamination in art. Contamination of different styles, similar or opposed, but also contamination of different artistic mediums. My works almost always arise from an encounter between the kind of medium I know best: painting, illustration, comics. I constantly try to blend elements from these three art forms and I realized that, over time, my research has led me to results that perhaps I could define close to a modern Pop Art, something I hadn't absolutely expected at the beginning of my research. During the last year I experimented with styles and techniques that I had never tried before, I tried to do something that represents me and that I enjoy, never losing sight of the art of the 20th Century which inspires me the most. And I contaminated it with the art of the European and American underground comics that I have always admired. During the last year I have produced a lot of material and it is time to start showing the result here on Artfinder. I think these latest works reflect me a lot and seeing them completed gives me great joy.
For "Love You" I started from a classic subject and pose of 19th and 20th Century painting, combining them with an impressionist brushstroke, and typical elements of stylization in comics, e.g. in the model's face and in the balloon. And the balloon in this case does not contain words, but a powerful symbol.
