  • Avatars

    In the same line of thought of Render and Re Creo, this project also refers to the construction of the "model" in art today and how it could be taken from the constructed image rather than "real life". This project is a series of paintings based on the construction of a "self" in the digital world and the incorporation of the "avatar" as a "model" for painting- that once was a classic painted portrait. This paintings are the product of a series of avatars that I asked my contacts in social media networks to make of myself, by using a classic photographic portrait (in the Leonardo's Gioconda pose). The received avatars were traditionally painted in oil on canvas. ---Oil on Canvas, 21 x 30 inches each.
