This work is quite special for me. In 2023, I started working abstractly through the mixed media art form. Different materials and techniques come together in this art form, creating unique colours, textures and shapes.
At this stage, I was still a bit searching, but the result is very successful. Despite being my first work with mixed techniques and materials, it is not inferior to my later works.
The design was first sketched on a drawing tablet and then filled in with marker, putty and oil paint. As a result, you can see a lot of depth through the mix of coarse and fine textures.
But what does the abstract work actually show?
That is often the question with abstract paintings. I did my best to reflect an Indian. Left of centre, you see the face; on the right, you see the large feather headdress.
While making this painting, I was influenced by works of art that can be described as pop art and cubism.
