Bleu Nuit , oil on linen 90×140 cm
Categories:Paintings£4,800.00From the “Memorabilia” series, “Bleu nuit” opens up the sphere of artistic inspiration in the inner world of dreams and creativity, having offered to the viewer the perfect tool kit like pencils and ink for graphic art and the knowledge of it from the concept art of The Star Wars Identities to the beauty of the female characters of Olivia and the majestic style of Alex Ross in the Marvel Univers character art. In all this avalanche of feelings , Bleu Nuit is a specific nuance of an ink that for a graphic and a calligraphy artist is like a beam of light. Of course this cannot be done without the support of a Diet Coke drink and a straw. The technique used is oil on canvas. This is one of my favorite compositions from this series, not only having (in my opinion) some of the best books for artistic inspiration in the background but also having the display of those beautifully designed pencils for tone and color correction necessary for every graphic artist in his work process. The finishing coat is WINSOR & NEWTON gloss varnish.
