February 10, 2008 is Amy Winehouse's Day!
Amy swept the board last night at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles (2008). She picked up a stunning 5 awards in the six categories in which she was nominated.
The music has NO BORDERS! Art has NO BORDERS! Even though Amy didn't receive a damned USA VISA [I had a similar bitter experience too] - her music travels and brings a lot of pleasure to people and music fans all over the world!
On the pictures on the left I present you the sources of inspiration for the portrait I have done. Antonio Gaudi's masique sculptures and arhitecture, and the byzantine mosaiques. Byzantine Mosaic and its traditions taken from the Great Roman Empire Art are still a great source of inspiration for me as an artist. I am putting some good examples of Byzantine Portraits of Saints and Queens with Kings. So here I will show all the main stages of creating the portrait of Amy Winehouse, the Star of the Month!
I Iwant to share and show my work that I recently did, a Pseudo Mosaic Portrait of Amy Winehouse. Her music, her style, incredible voice and original appeal inspired me so much that I wanted to create a series of her portraits, but I will share today only with the FIRST one:Also, as I am passioned of architecture and as I love the original style of Antonio Gaudi (25 June 1852 – 10 June 1926) - his GENIAL architecture and interior designn. Especially his mosic works left a deep trace in my creativity and imagination, which have also inspired me to do a portrait in mosaique technique.
