In the Inspiring Icons series, a portrait of the masterfully talented actor Al Pacino. He is perhaps the most versatile and cool actor we know. Some of the characters he played in Hollywood films such as "The Scent of a Woman" or "Scarface" are easily unforgettable.
I painted his portrait in monochromatic black and white to further bring out the character in his face. He is depicted in front of a graffiti, urban style background in warm colors to make his face stand out even more. The graffiti emphasizes his rugged appearance in the black leather jacket.
The background is painted in multiple layers of acrylic paint, ink, different types of markers, graffiti spray paint, pens, chalk and finally oil paint. The figure is outlined with copper leaf.
Growing up in the metropolis and governmental city The Hague in the Netherlands as well as a career in aviation are clear and strong influences on the work of international selling artist Bianca Lever. She discovered her passion for art later in life, as if all those experiences were looking for a creative way out. Thus leading to getting an art degree and pursuing a career in Art.
The abstract realistic work of Bianca Lever is expressive and outspoken. Her realistic figures, people and animals, are painted on pop- and streetart style backgrounds. Her mixed media process in which different techniques and styles are combined is both thought through as well as intuitive and exploring, always pushing the envelope. Her motto “Be curious, explore and experience” shows in her work. There is a lot of juxtaposition, contrast and visible layering. Always ending with multiple layers of oil to make the colours even more intense and to create more depth by using cold and warm pigments.
Bianca still travels a lot and lives and works in the middle of artistic and inspiring Italy where she paints from her studio with a beautiful view of the Appenines.
