In the Garden of Earthly Delights

Hieronymus Bosch, The Garden of Earthly Delights, 1500

„Die sichtbare Kontinuität zwischen dem vorzeitlichen Paradiesgarten, in dem nur Adam und Eva gelebt haben, und dem überfüllten Paradiesgarten im Mittelteil widerspricht so eklatant der biblischen Erzählung, dass sie nach einer anderen Lesart verlangt, als sie in der üblichen Ikonographie eingeübt wurde. Aber nach welcher?“ (Hans Belting)

Rehearsal

I take pictures of the actors of "Thunis" for a reportage. Here are some of the first results!

Impressions of Russia

Paintings by Mikhail Vasilievich Nesterov (1862–1942)

Russian Art and Symbolism are two things which I definitely would like to get to know better. I hope I will find some useful books.

Empty Streets of Paris

all by Eugène Atget (1857–1927)

....not much time for drawing lately, but planning a few things though.

Something different

I was sick today so I had much time to draw. I was in the mood of doing something different. Inspired by Danny Roberts or Garance Doré, I decided to draw the french muse Pandora.
