Masquerade

Under attack

The excessive use of color was one of the main objectives of this piece.  But the hardest part was to find a personal sense of rhythm, that would give a kind of meaning to all these different shapes, textures and colors.

It seems there were more things to be said on collage - and through collage, so I came up with one more piece. In this case, the heavy use of decollage, gives a more raw feeling. Older collages, washed paper in chlorine bleach, acrylics, post-it, were used on multiple layers to give the above result.

This collage came almost out of nowhere. Pieces from previous works that didn't come to an end, were put together to produce the above sample of my ideas on collage. But most importantly, it was my need to work again on something like this, since i hadn't for almost four months.

It's always the same for me, I never know where I am heading for (though it's easier to say where I don't want to go), what is going to happen to every little project. As in this case, i had no idea of what it was going to look like in the end. Anyway, i had the chance to play, putting together different kind of elements, references, ideas, styles and technics in an ensemble that feels coherent to me.

It's a piece that came out of nowhere, or at least that's how I feel. 

Back in 2006 in its original form, it was part of an illustration in watercolors (for which i used reference, you can't get this dramatic kind of lighting other way)  . 

In October 2010, I put the watercolors in the photoshop laboratory, eliminating all the kinds of "noise" (pencil, paper surface) and giving it finally this impressionistic feel ( the light is as if it consumes the figure and its details). 

Last August, I was working on a collage, using different paper textures and some patterns I had already made in Photoshop. A piece of it, you can see on the wall, behind the figure.

Last night I worked on another project, and I started browsing old pieces to find things I could incorporate in it. That's how I run into them and thought ... hm! why not?

Let them eat cake

H πρώτη ανάρτηση για το νέο έτος είναι συνέχεια της θεματικής που ξεκίνησα στην πρόσφατη δουλειά με τίτλο Queen. Mπορείτε να φανταστείτε ότι θα υπάρξει και μία τρίτη για να ολοκληρωθεί ένα τρίπτυχο πάνω σ'αυτό το θέμα. Αν έχετε να προτείνετε κάποια μεγαλειότητα της οποίας ο ταραγμένος βίος σας συγκινεί, παρακαλώ μοιραστείτε το μαζί μου, ίσως να είναι αυτή η τρίτη αυτού εξωχότης τούτης της συλλογής.

the Queen

Και να η τελευταία ανάρτηση για το 2011. Η βασίλισσα Ελισάβετ με την επιβλητική μορφή της C. Blanchett και το βλέμμα προσηλωμένο στο σωτήριο 2012 που καταυθάνει. Ευτυχισμένο και "πλεονασματικό" το νέο έτος για όλους.
