“Making art isn’t an aesthetic operation; it’s a form of magic designed as a mediator between this strange, hostile world and us; a way of seizing the power by giving form to our terrors as well as our desires.”
Pablo Picasso.
We all know who the Magician is…… Excellent John! 🙂

Great image, really strong, charismatic. Amazing to get such lush colour with acrylics.

Thank you Cara, I am honoured. The photo process adds a certain amount of “lush colour” but this is still fairly close to the original.
