One of the largest collage artworks, taken from the series A Kingdom in Pieces and created almost 14 years ago with my stained glass technique. My inspiration was a one of Leonard da Vinci's famous paintings, Leda and the Swan. I chose it because it was a while since i made a nude and Leda has an amazing form in the painting. Also the swan was a new form i had not used yet and wanted to experiment a little.
A description for the series i wrote back then.
The theme of this series is inspired from religious paintings where the forms and symbols are replaced with those taken from ancient Egyptian theology. The reason of this act is not the revelation that the word of christian religion is based on ideas of older religions but the reminder that these ideas are deeply human and not divine at all.
I think the skin colour was a very bad idea as it darkened the result a lot, i am sure with a brighter one i could have achieved better highlights and shadows. The purple swan came out pretty cool and surreal and the background is an inverted photo of a tree foliage, taken from a past summer holiday. If you check closely you can see some pair of eyes watching.
Amazingly well done!

George, we always say it's a pleasure to see your art. Those eyes placed secretly in the background have seemed an excellent idea, give a mysterious touch of his reason.
Greetings and a hug from this side of the world!

It's a beautiful work of art, I noticed the skin is not how you do it now.
At that time maybe you did not dress because that moment was very good, but now you realize the flaws because you have grown a lot as artists and if you decide to do it again you will do much better.
I admit that I have seen the eye in the background and it seemed a little strange that you placed it there, but it was a hidden detail hehehe
Nice to see you again :)🤗
Nice to see you too dear Carmen:)
Yes indeed, now that i am seeing my older artworks i can make a nice constructive self-critisism. Back then i was working a lot and everything looked kind of amazing, hahaha.
Nice that you spotted the little detail:)
If I'm honest, in my case I like my job today but tomorrow I do not like it and I want to see tutorials and things to improve more, in your case your old or new jobs I always like and I get the strong curiosity of... as it does? hehehehe
It is beause you like perfection and want to be better and better dear Carmen:) Thank you for you kind words:)
Yes, but I think I can not make any progress, and that frustrates me too much. :(
You're welcome, honey. ;)
