ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Yves Saint-Laurent was THE fashion designer and a haute couture powerhouse who has had a longstanding career and a successful business empire continuously from the 60´s. He has been THE fashion designer who has been consistently elegant - never elevating the designer over the designs and always promoting pure elegance. His work has always been instantly recognizable without any unnecessary gimmicks. I paint iconic oil-on-canvas paintings of people and things that have made an impact on me or the society. I also paint to illuminate injustice and to expose the abuse of power. My goal is to encourage and inspire people to take action for a positive change. “We all have a voice, my art is mine.” I have been painting oil-on-canvas portraits for years. I started my "Icons of Icons” concept by adding gold leaf to the background, resembling religious icons. Then I swapped the oil paint for the background and the gold leaf for the actual portrait for my "Gold Portraits”. My “Bold Portraits” started when I decided to drop out everything extra, like the gold and most colors. I go through the painting several times with a very small brush in order to give it a relaxed sketchy feel while it still feels finished and refined. Now I sometimes paint hybrids of my “bold” paintings and “icons” by adding gold leaf for the background. Synopsis: I paint iconic people and topics that have had an impact on me or our society. I paint oil on canvas, but often I use gold leaf or ultrablack matt acrylic paint for effect. The painting is signed on the back and has my “e” symbol on the front. My paintings always continue around the sides, so they can be hung unframed.
