Vienna In Spring Painting

Engage with the theatrics and drama conveyed in the work; spot different details with every look in a celebration of the mythological and natural worlds. In my practice, each artwork starts its live as a black and white collage of photos, drawings and 3D objects. The collage is then used as an under-painting to which I apply colour and texture using my graphics tablet. The artwork is then printed onto canvas, where the gold leaf embellishments are applied. 'Vienna in Spring' is a product of my experience of traditional art through painting and combining this with the skills in graphic design. Throughout my work these creative identities have clashed but in this collection I have found an outlet to harmonise these skills to produce these pieces. I wish viewers of my work to engage in the theatrics and drama conveyed in the piece and to appreciate different details each time they look upon the work.
