Zdzislaw Beksinski - Artist reserch

Image
Zdzisław Beksiński was a Polish artist who created dark and surrealistic paintings featuring twisted figures, landscapes, and apocalyptic themes. His style was highly detailed and realistic, focusing on texture and tone, and he often used a limited colour palette. He often used a limited colour palette, mostly browns, greys, and greens. His work was inspired by his own personal struggles with depression and used the arts as a way to explore the darker aspects of the human psychological aspects. Beksiński also experimented with other forms of art, including sculpture and photography. He created a series of sculptures in the 1960s, which were inspired by the human form. Untitled (Head 4) Some of his works also include religious motifs and iconography. Beksinski worked in mixed media, using oil paints and photography to achieve specific effects in his works. He often experimented with textures and layers, creating a sense of depth and dimension in his compositions. His technique and style...

Sketches 3D

Image
Creating the outcome for my mini-project, I sketched a couple of ideas for 3D outcomes for my major project. I have tried to improve my previous sculptures, carefully planning their visual look of them given the measurement of the clay busts.  Creating the sculptures, I mostly focused on the long neck one as the construction might be quite difficult to make, and it might fall, wasting material and time spent on this sculpture. Planning the sculpture, I decided to make a wild shoulder to make the construction more stable. 

3D outcome - mini project

The post presents the outcomes of my mini-project. In this project, I have worked on the characters' raw aesthetic and unusual shapes. The important aspect of this project was creating creepy or disturbing creatures that would suit the main project.  Creating the project, I started making the head as first as it could help me easier work with the material and sculpt facial expressions. When the heads were ready, I started making the base for both of my clay busts. To create the base for them, I used a thick wire, twisting it several times to make it more stable and prevent the head of one of them will fall. When the wires were ready, I started placing clay on them and sculpting the texture, and fixing the head as one of them got damaged. Creating the texture, I changed the concept a little, and by using a tool, I created some wrinkles on the long neck clay bust and created deeper eye sockets for both.  The final outcome of this project will be included on my website as a resul...

Sketches - mini project

Image
This post presents sketches of my mini project supporting 3D outcomes for the major project for Art portfolio. The main inspiration for this sculpture was Alberto Giacometti, which created the sculptures in disproportional shapes and raw textures. The main idea of this mini-project is creating a 2 sculptures in Giacometti's style and test new techniques, the same as improving the currently known ones.  Planning the sculptures, I decided to create 2 clay busts in disproportional bodies. One of them would have a long neck and disproportionally large head compared to the rest of its body. However, the second one will have a massive chaw and hump on its back.

Alberto Giacometti - Artist Research

Image
Alberto Giacometti was an artist from Switzerland known for his sculptures created in a unique style. He was also known for creating many clay busts that became famous and iconic. Giacometti's work often shows the subjects in unregular shapes and positions, with twisted bodies, which gives the sculptures a dynamic and sense of movement. We can find many paintings and sketches of his artwork, although he became famous mostly for his sculptures. The works of Giacometti present the essence of creating rough textures and unfinished surfaces. Giacometti used many different mediums, such as clay or brass, as it allowed him to work quickly. His clay busts were very expressive, and his technique was unique and innovative. Giacometti's clay busts were characterised by their expressive qualities and exploration of human emotions. Giacometti's interest in surrealist forms and themes such as sexuality and traumas. He also worked with painting and drawing and designed decorative object...

The progress of my 2D outcomes 2

Image
This post presents the current progress of my other 2 2D outcomes for Art Portfolio.  Repainting this work, I struggle with the sketch mostly. Every time trying to make a good sketch, the legs of the character were disproportionate to the rest of the body, so I blurred them a bit. Also, i struggled with my hands, so I changed them as none of my 2D outcomes is not finished yet. In the next steps, I would like to use more dark tones and create a contrast between the clothes and the background. At the end of the process of creating this piece, I would like to use sandpaper to make my work more dynamic and similar to Screaming Pope. Creating this work, I decided to paint it in a different style than the other paintings as it presents more objects, and it might be time-consuming to create this piece the same as the others. This work has been created by using knives mostly. In the next steps, I will use brushes to make more details, such as facial features and shadows.
