A more phychoanalytic approach to the ancient greek myth of Narcissus, inspired by "the picture of Dorian Gray" and the fin du siecle art nouveau movement.
A composition about forest, with elements arranged in an old fashion structure.
A piece of illustration inspired by Anderson's Royal Tenenbaums. Two figures attend a funeral, the black umbrella they hold, with its size increased, is consuming them, just like their grief does.
Wrath, and a centaur out of control, galloping desperate in a dark river. Wrath disintegrates soul, just like the way the printed fabric is teared apart into its threads.
A portrait of Karen Carpenter inspired by her song, masquerade. Her public image, worked as a mask that covered her personal drama of eating disorder, that caused her death.
a female figure with sad eyes, a whore in a saloon, planted in an background inspired by the note bills design.
Centaurs are among my favorite themes. Here I've tried to plant this mythological creature in a "western" environment, typo helped towards this direction.
A piece of illustration inspired by Japanese art and Polanski's Chinatown.
A piece of illustration with heavy use of typography. The sans sherif typefaces contrasts with the thick, full of details background. Mixed media. blue ink, paper with strong texture. McCabe is covered with a fur, ink is manipulated to represent both this material as well as the forest, through which the hero appears in the beginning of the film.
A portrait of K. Dunst inspired by S.Coppola's "Marie Antoinette". Her ribbon made name, cuts her throat while the collage made wig underlines the ridiculous gap between the luxurious life style of the noble and the misery of the poorer.
A portrait of B.Murray inspired by W.Anderson's "the life aquatic with Steve Zissou". MIxed media: acrylics, pencils, photoshop, are used for an image, reminiscent of sea voyages.
