Mixed Media Technique
This mixed media painting is made from cassette tapes, on which multiple layers of acrylic have been applied using spray paint, brush and markers.
Background
White, black and dark gray cassette tapes have been used in the background in this artwork. These tapes are in harmony with each other, because all labels have the same color shade. Mandarin orange has been used. The choice for tertiary colors ensures tranquility in the painting. The calming atmosphere of this painting is pleasant to look at, but to make sure it doesn’t become boring, a playful effect has been added. A number of light cassette tapes have been placed between the dark cassette tapes to keep the painting lively and fascinating.
Painting
While painting the color tone has remained unchanged. White and black form the basis and orange, brown colored spray paints have been used. These natural tones flow together with the background. To make the painting exciting, the saturation of white and black paint is played with which makes the painting feel mysterious. The portrait consists of many organic details. If you look closely at the painting, it is abstract. The further away from the painting you stand, the more realistic the portrait becomes.
Each painting from this collection has its own peculiarities. An applied detail in this painting is George Michael's gold earring.
Framing
The image area is bordered by a sleek black frame, which provides a modern finish.
