Covered Stranded Painting

Portrait: Oil on canvas Oil painting from the cycle „X Times Collateral" The cycle „X Times Collateral“ shows a kaleidoscope of over 50 portraits and figures in oil on canvas. Image Size 70 x 100 cm The oil painting is made in several layers of egg tempera, oil color and oil color mixed with resin. The paintings are elaborated very detailed. They tell stories of the portrait painted persons by the expressions of the faces and by the compositions of the backgrounds. This figure shows a young lady enjoying a sunny day. By the permission of the Imogen Cunningham Trust I was allowed to take a black and white photography of Imogen Cunningham as inspiration to create a completely new colorful painting on my own artificial style and expression. Imogen Cunningham´s young woman is sitting nudely in a studio. My young woman is sitting in an ordinary bathing suite on a Bavarian lakeside.
