Commissioned Artwork Salzburg

A watercolor painting by Anton Altmann (33 cm × 89 cm) from 1855 served as the starting point for the work. This image has been digitally restored and retouched.   With regard to the color scheme, the office environment was thought of and the palette was designed accordingly. It was important to bring the first color nuances into harmony and to let the picture appear in the colors that then shaped the entire picture composition. As a contrast to the historic city panorama, fragmentary wall graffiti structures and raster photographs of torn posters span the arc from old to new. The cityscape with its typical elements is still clearly recognizable and has been abstracted and painted over at the points that create the best possible harmony in a balance of opposites, without competing with one another. Delicate lines and subtle, warm color surfaces are juxtaposed with wild painterly gestures. Clear lines and surfaces were created with free forms and fragments from collages, décollages, spray paintings and drawing contrasts in order to create tension. This idea was condensed with macro shots of image fragments. The left part indicates a golden ratio. A nautilus snail symbolizes him on the right edge.  The delicate cherry blossoms should convey a certain lightness at the top and continue the image section.   In the entire work there is also a harmonious interplay of the contrasts between nature and architecture, which is stylistically underpinned from top to bottom by a light-dark contrast. The city as such is embedded in nature and forms an overall ensemble.   Thank you for your order! more commissioned artworks

Commissioned Artwork Puch

The transmitted original photograph was processed digitally and analogously in 4 layers. The picture was abstracted and then colored and retouched. The image section has been changed, the portrayed is now in the middle and so I have chosen a classic portrait format for further revision. The background structure was created painterly with soft and strong brushstrokes, acrylic paint and spatula technique. Then spray paints were added. Again and again the images in the composition were manipulated to create a coherent overall picture. Then works from art history (Christian Schussele, Ocean Life) were inserted with works from my sketchbooks (flower on the right). I brought the client's cat into the composition at the top right. The birds (top left) and the butterflies (right and left) have been added to give the dreamy thinker look a certain lightness. Watercolors and pencil drawings formed the colorful and lively conclusion of an enriching work. Overall, the work has become very complex. There are many details that let the eye wander and invite you to the final cover.Thank you for your order! more commissioned artworks

Commissioned Artwork Salzburg

The composition, the structure of the picture is characterized by contrasts and opposites, which create harmony again. Light and dark colors are combined in a balanced way so that depth and closeness are conveyed and illustrated. Tommy's acrobatic photo has been overdrawn and abstracted. In order to better represent the movement and dynamics, the image was used twice. The image is structured from left to right. On the left you can still see snow-covered trees - on the right an abstract winter landscape. On the left it is day while on the right it is already dawn. Spray work, drawings, macrostructures of pixels, stars and camouflage patterns, as well as digital glitches and tags were integrated as style elements. I used neon colors as highlights. I combined the signature Tommy (bottom right) with the ski park logo and the graffiti "Go on".Thank you for your order!

Commissioned Artwork Dresden

Commissioned artwork 2021 - Justitia, for a customer from Dresden, (Germany)

The three attributes of blindfold, scales and swords are intended to make it clear that the law is spoken without regard to the person (blindfold), after careful consideration of the circumstances (scales) and finally enforced with the necessary rigor (sword). I tried to accentuate the two other symbols, the law book and the snake. The book stands for wisdom and self-control and the snake represents the opposing properties of poison and error, but also healing and knowledge. If Justitia's foot on the snake is supposed to represent the final victory over evil.

The figure was created as a halftone stencil. The book and the snake come from art historical images that were collaged and put together. Furthermore, the picture consists of an abstract dissolution of column elements - the upper edge of the picture and two concrete column representations - on the right a Corinthian column and on the left a drawing based on a model by Roy Lichtenstein. The color composition is characterized by complementary contrasts green and red and blue and yellow. In addition, muted and luminous color accents were used. Scanned acrylic paintings, spray work, charcoal drawings, colored pencil lines and some macro shots of printed raster points can be found on the picture.
