Baroque Diva with Broccoli by Britta Glodde

Since I published my Pop Art Marlene Dietrich, I'm sure everyone knows how much I love the style of old Hollywood films. It was a time when stars were portrayed like gods and a bit of wickedness was very much in vogue. It was all the result of clever lighting, of course. So I thought, why not use this effect for a new veggie lady?

Herewith I present a beautiful diva with a headdress of broccoli and romanesco. Especially the latter contributed with its fractal structure to make the headdress look finely ornamented and precious. If you like, you can also imagine a wig, as was fashionable in the rococo and baroque periods.
The earrings and the decoration on the dress as well as the stole are also composed of photo parts of broccoli. As always, the lady is painted on a Wacom tablet. Everything was combined into a collage in Photoshop.

This composition of various shades of green and a rich red-brown is not only a must for friends of the surreal. It will certainly not only delight hobby cooks and vegetarians but also enrich everyone who wants to bring a touch of luxury, grandeur, romance and audacity into their four walls.

And if you don't know what to cook today, google some delicious broccoli dishes.
Enjoy your meal.
Yours, Britta Glodde

Britta Glodde is a digital artist from Germany with Spanish residency and a self-confessed Aries. She has been drawing and painting since her father taught her - today she teaches herself: "I love trying new techniques. That's how I discovered the possibilities of digital art. I started with 3D rendering about 12 years ago, then I moved on to digital painting and for some time now I have been incorporating parts of photos into my works. My style may have changed over time, but my preferred subjects have not. I have a weakness for female beauty (faces and eyes mainly). I like to portray my fantasy ladies in a surreal context. My favourite series deals with women and food - which is not surprising when you know how passionate I am about feasting. Another passion of mine is imagining and writing fantasy worlds/stories. In other words: I think nothing is impossible - I believe in fairy tales - and I can discover magic everywhere. So if I can bring a little magic to your walls, I am very happy."
