Some Of My Works 70

These 2 pieces are the biggest one created for my ongoing series “Gentlewomen“. They are vintage portraits on wood panel, but here I just used pens for the whole painting and decoration.

The pictures are both the portrait of the same woman, so I thought to create a “twin” decoration, where patterns are repeated in both pieces with some small variants.

They are available in my website into the collection “Art on Wood“.

Adaeze Okaro – Intense Portraits

Posted on July 2, 2021 by marikokoda under Fashion, Photography, portraits

I am so captured by the intensity of the fashion portraits by the Nigerian photographer Adaeze Okaro.

I enjoy how her portraits “emerge” from darkness, and the careful attention of the use of colours to “drag” the subjects out of it.

Some Of My Works 68

Posted on June 30, 2021 by marikokoda under abstract, Art, collage, drawings, Illustration, Photography, portraits

This is an ongoing series called “Gli Strappi Sui Muri” (Tears On The Walls), that I am working on.

“Gli Strappi Sui Muri” (Tears On The Walls), is a brand new series about a personal research on memories and “history layers”. I wanted to imagine a wall where our memories (the photo) get slowly covered by time, represented by paper stripes and paint interventions. Every time we look at a picture it changes in time and space, revealing us a new layer. While we grow up, we connect with our memories in a different level, and time erodes them slowly.

New batch!

Enjoy 3 new pieces created during the last week and part of my series “Gentlewomen“.

I am still working on circular wood panels using a combination of gouache painting, acrylic and gel pens.

The pictures are original vintage portraits glued over the panel.

You can find them available in my collection “Art On Wood“.

Some Of My Works 66

It’s been a while!

Here’s a batch of fresh new works that I am currently working on. I really enjoy to use wood panels and boards lately, and I think that the mixture of vintage portraits and wood gives a magic final touch to each piece.

Moreover, I can magnify the images to create an abstract patterned space around each subject. These works are part of the series “Gentlemen” and “Gentlewomen“.

For these pieces I used a vintage photo attached to a wood panel as a starting point. Then I decorated them using acrylic and gel pens, some of them also have gouache painting in the background.

You can find the whole collection available in my website.
