en-The "Paint'Alive", neo-medieval portraits that clash!

06/03/2021

Not everyone lives in a castle or a hobbitt hole! And not everyone can either break the bank for an original artwork... Based on that evidence, and in order to find for each of you a possible place for my carved leather paintings,  I wanted to modify them without distorting them ... Big deal... 

But it is through an application whose goal is quite different, and almost by chance, that I managed to make two diametrically opposed practices meet and work... 

Because at first sight, the alliance between leather carving (ancestral artisanal technique) and digital retouching (ultra-technological dematerialized practice) is quite improbable, and almost unnatural...

And yet, here are three of my female characters that seem quite surprised to come to life from what was originally just a piece of leather!

I therefore called them "Paint'Alive" (living paintings), these neo-medieval portraits that clash, and which, in the form of art prints, claim to take place into modern decors, without denying themselves at all...

They are available three in number: "Ophélia", "Musica" and "Lady with an ermine" and represent universes and sources of inspiration I cherish: literature, music and painting... One holds flowers, the other a musical instrument and the last an animal ... In a perfect triptych...
