Ancient Looks

DETAILS

In this painting the technique for the realization of the stone effect is particularly appreciated. The shadows made with the airbrush are the real protagonists of this work, capable of giving it an effect of depth and three-dimensionality.
To complete the impression of being in front of a real rock sculpture, the base plan was made with a plaster.
It is the reproduction of one of the numerous faces present in the temple of Angkor Bayon, in Cambodia: the identity of the face reproduced here is mysterious and subject to different interpretations, as well as containing several ancient symbols.
