The Artistic Technique

These captivating paintings follow an innovative technique inspired by the legendary Andy Warhol. Starting with a photograph, the artist separates the portrait from the background and prints it on tracing paper. Boldly using media like acrylics and gold/bronze leaves, the artist imbues the artwork with vibrant pop-art style colors. The final touch involves printing the image again on top of the painted surface, resulting in an extraordinary masterpiece reminiscent of Warhol's iconic silkscreen prints.
