Hi! First off i wanted to say i think your art is so incredibly amazing, i've never seen anything like it! It's got this timeless quality to it that i find so fascinating....I was curious to know if you have any big inspirations when it comes to your work, or any favourite artists or art movements in general?
Have a great day/night💙
Hello, thank you kindly for your words!
My main inspiration source is a desire to explore: a character, a feeling, a texture. It can be some piece of armor that i saw on pinterest, some work of art that i see in museums, or things that i see in nature on my walk. The music is also something that has been feeding me images for many years. Usually the idea comes to my mind in an already composed picture, and i do my best in transfering it to the canvas; sometimes, however, i toggle composition and colours until the image suits me right.
As for art history, i have favourite works in almost every time and period. However, the mouvements that resonate with me the most are Renaissance of Quattrocento, impressionism + realism of 19th century (19th century is amazing regarding art history. i love it deeply), and Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood. As for certain artists - the ones that come to my mind first are Caravaggio, Botticelli, Klimt, Courbet, Piero della Francesca and many-many others than I cannot remember now.
Have a great day as well!
