"Robert Filliou 32" Painting

This is one of the paintings from 'The Paintings Section of Davis Museum Barcelona,' a mini contemporary art museum that I created in 2009 (www.davismuseum.com). My starting point for this painting was a black and white photograph of Robert Filliou, a French artist associated with the Fluxus Movement, wearing his artwork 'Galerie légitime' (1962) on his head. This mobile art gallery, created from a folded paper hat, was exhibited at the 'Defrosting the Frozen Exhibition' in London, 1962. The initial studies were conducted using Artificial Intelligence (AI), transforming the photograph into digital images in a cubist style. When executing the oil painting, I chose to embrace the tropical and festive colors of Latin American art, drawing inspiration from the works of Brazilian artists Cândido Portinari and Alfredo Volpi.
