This work was completed, minted and published in one single edition on Makersplace in late summer 2023.
Inspiration
Feeling irresistible kissable, cuddly and lovable. It is a positive vibe associated with self-confidence, personal connection and an overall sense of bliss.
Can a moment of happiness be any more intense than this?
Process
Already a few years ago - 2021 if I remember well - the foundation of this work was painted. The base of this work was an acrylic painting on rugged paper (approximately 50 x 70 cm) during several sessions. Later, I digitised and vectorised this work. I then added several layers to obtain the desired effect. I concentrated on intensifying the colour and adding detail to the subjects' skin and the almost black shadows. The border has been added as an enlarged "echo" in order to further enhance the expression of the painting.
The (digital version) of the original painting is still part of the final work, mainly to give (colour) variation, structure and depth to the work.
Available in my Makersplace Galery.
Details
The details show the rough structure of the paper on which the painting was conceived. Also visible is the enrichment provided by the added vector detailing.
