Again, I was looking for something special and I am in an experimental mood. I wanted to experiment with canvas, structuring paste, paintbrush and acryl colors. This for the material – still missing the object. Some thinking, then the flash and the idea was born: “David” from Michelangelo. Probably the most known sculpture in the history of art. The original sculpture of “David” can be admired in Florence, Italy. The statue is 5 meters high and weighs around 6 tons. It’s a just a stunning piece of art.
With this painting I felt more daring and crazy. I dared to experiment with structuring matt gel to give the artwork a special look and effect. As you might have noticed, I also experimented to take special shots with my camera and make a short video. Et voilà!

As mentioned above this was a special work and I was inspired not only to take interesting shots catched with my camera but also to release a little trailer. It’s available on my YouTube channel as well.
