Barcelona Pleasure Painting

This mixed-media painting includes my original photographs taken from a rooftop in downtown Barcelona. The title comes from the word "placer" or pleasure in Spanish, which is a printed collaged element you can read from close up in the sky area of the painting. There are other words from found printed materials interwoven amongst pieces of photographs, painted sections, and drawn lines. I used a very layered technique for this piece, which has 12 different layers of collage and painting. I used a colour palette with many orange and blue hues, since I wanted to evoque the colours in Barcelona in the evenings. The piece is wood board on a wood frame of 4 cm, so it doesn't require a frame. The edges are also painted, so it is ready to hang, and looks beautiful over a sofa.
