The Natural Type is a surrealistic portrait that depicts the unity of man and nature She woman rises, as it were, from the tree trunk and is adorned with a beautiful surreal foliage like hair. The tree bark is draped around her neck like a modern design ornament. Nature is a hot topic at the moment. To avoid losing it completely, we as humans need to become more one with nature and take better care of it. If we take good care of nature, nature will take good care of us. For this work, I first made a drawing of the underside of a young woman's face. I did this digitally on Wacom Cintiq Pro. Then I used parts of different photos for the leaves and the trunk with bark.
I think the artwork will do well especially with people who are currently very much championing nature, they feel we need to live more in symbiosis with nature to keep our earth livable and beautiful
