Three Drawings Print

Portrait of a woman, montage of three digitally manipulated charcoal drawings (three drawings of the same model). From the series 'Paintings made for fifty years'. Nowadays, I am interested in various combinations of traditional hand painting or drawing and digital imaging. The potential for combinations ranges from barely perceptible coloring, reworking, to typically digital artworks where hand-drawn elements play only a minor role. Combining traditional and digital painting techniques produces pictorial effects that cannot be achieved with either of the two. In this series, I mainly process my study drawings and paintings that I made when I was 14-18 years old, between 1968-72. We can say that these pictures were taken for fifty years. This digital picture, together with my other digital works, belongs to a genre that could be called 'file art', which means it is not a copy. There is no original: the prints are not reproductions, each one is equally original. New art requires a new approach from artists and collectors alike.
