I recently saw a lot of art pieces where the artist decided to use texture in order to convey emotions, mood, and tone. I was especially fascinated by all the portrays that use abstract colors and texture in order to paint a face. While no features are drawn, they are visible through the use of texture. Inspired by this I wanted to create my own texture portray. While mine did not turn out anywhere near as good as those that I saw I had a lot of fun playing around with different mediums including acrylics and oil paint in order to create this piece.
As mentioned in my previous blog post, there was really nothing you could do during Corona in Germany. Thus I had to come up with unique creative ways to spend my time. As we were encouraged to leave the house as little as possible, I decided to have a DIY photoshoot in my room. While the pictures that I took looked good and cool they weren't as artsy as I would have liked them to be. Evidently, my room isn't a professional photo studio and unfortunately, I don't have the props or the equipment to turn it into one. Instead, I decided to use the photos I took and manipulate them via Photoshop in order to give them a cool, artsy, and aesthetic appeal. This was one of the results... I tried to make it look as if it was taken out of a fashion magazine or as if it was a Poster.
One of my art teachers once told me that a good artist is able to see the things that aren't there. Evidently, this is a broad statement and can be interpreted in many ways. In my opinion, art is extremely subjective, and such thing as a good artist or a bad artist doesn't exist. I do believe however that it takes a lot of skill to come up with concepts and visualize them. Especially when considering cartoons or other forms of unique sketches where the artist is pushed to visualize things that they have never seen before in person. I often try to come up with unique concepts like these in order to push my creative boundaries to see what I can create. Here is one of the sketches I have recently created:
