About the Item
The oil painting Rostro nº3 is distinguished by its particular treatment, where the artist has used techniques to modify the original color and textures of the sculpture, taking them to a more personalized terrain. The predominant brown and ochre tones in the work allow glimpses of blue shades, which contribute to enrich and balance the chromaticism of the painting. The creative process included a first digital study using image editing software, exploring the various possibilities that the incorporation of textures and colors offers. This exploration allowed the artist to find a color palette and texture that would allow him to express his personal vision of Antinous' head, while maintaining the essence and original personality of the sculpture. Ultimately, this approach gives the work a new dimension, offering the viewer a visual experience that goes beyond the mere representation of the original sculpture. The search for a different colorimetry and the exploration of new textures in the painting space transform the work into a unique and personal interpretation of the ancient portrait of Antinous.
