Goya in Heaven - nr. 11 of 99 Print - Limited Edition of 1

Francisco Goya (1746-1828) The life of Goya has been one of great fame and great desperation. In his work we see the two sides of the Spanish Spirit: On the one side he painted the Careless, Frivolous, Fiesta way of life, and on the other side the Terror and Cruelty of the Inquisition and Wars. When he became very ill and deaf he started painting Surreal and Cruel, Fantastic Paintings all over the walls of his villa. Those paintings are taken of the walls and shown in Museo del Prado, Madrid, considred to be the kick off for Modern Painting in the centuries to come. Here in the Painters Heaven, He finally found Peace surrounded by naked Princesses, Witches, Poodles, Winged Demons and sang to by the Blind. The 'Painter's Heaven' series was made as a tribute to my favourite painters of all time. Many of them suffered during their lifetime for making the world a more beautiful place. So I imagine that in heaven they are given a flying machine out of their own art, while flying through a self-made heaven. All backgrounds and clouds are painted in oil and the quotes of their work are sampled digitally. Making the whole series a mixture of ancient and new techniques. It is published on 290 grams Hahnemuhle Photo Rag.
