ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Inspired by my dreams and the oeuvre of the wonderful magical realism master Carel Willink and one of my favorite painters Fragonard.


This particular piece was created using photographs I took over several years in different locations. Later blended using my Wacom Cintiq Pro as my digital canvas implementing traditional painting techniques. The composition consists of 232 individual layers, and the final piece is a 25k resolution (24738 x 18512 pixels).

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Where the boundaries between dream and reality meet, a majestic elephant strides through shimmering waters, blurred by soft hues of pink and carrying two pastel colored tigers on its back. As they wash each other, pink drips into the clear water, transforming and brightening the world in their beautiful and loving hues the water speaks in soft tones of a delicate secret: the world can be bathed in brighter, more enchanting shades by those who dare to dream. Hidden realms of magic and marvels unfold, waiting to be discovered.

Created over several years, each element has been captured with a full-frame camera and later fused using a wacom cintiq pro tablet, employing brushes and techniques inspired by traditional painting.

On the foreground two white tigers with pink stripes being carried by a pastel pink African Elephant (Photographed in their natural habitat from a safe distance), set against the dramatic backdrop of Sicily’s landscape and it’s magnificent ancient greek temples (Photographed in Sicily 2017)

Where the impossible is possible...

A dream,
A place that remains mostly unseen,
Covered in mystery,
A place that unveils itself through time,
Am I a traveller of this mysterious place?
A glimpse of this world that is mine.
Soft mountain clouds, as gentle rivers flow by,
Over the horizon, soft gentle colours like candy,
Colour life that is near,
A gentle dream, an endless world
That gives inspiration by my travels
Wonders that I hold dear.
