Cajam (Hercule)

This creative portrait collection draws its inspiration from the Pop-Art movement, a more impactful visual representation with bright colors and the use of saturated black.

Always oversized works, large format faces that require observation from a distance.

The execution technique mainly uses palette knife, while the lines of the black drawing in the subject remain brush made. Both tools explore a rendering of sharp contours rather than blended while preserving the color intensity.

The artist does not compromise on the work feeling; anatomy and realism evoke the character emotions, their eyes and expressive gestures. As a result, these faces provide this feeling of presence sharing the room space with the viewer.

On a more creative and romantic dimension, the titles do not reflect people’s names but stars in the galaxies.

This large format collection includes in some of these executions diptychs or triptychs; artworks by assembled panels of two or three pieces.

These works are executed on gallery canvas painted sides.
