Close up portrait of Josephine Baker in color, in her heyday as a performer. She is facing forward, but her eyes look to the side, mouth slightly open. Background is gesso tinted in a salmon color.
This is a side-on view of the upper part of a male blackbird. It has black plumage with several visible silver linings, a dark brown eye with a light orange outer rim, and a dirt-covered orange beak. The background is blurred brown vegetation.
A Second World War air raid shelter, filled with fascinating portraits scrawled on the walls.
Inside one of the chambers is a time capsule underground art gallery, of sorts. The walls are covered with around 20 portraits, mostly drawn in charcoal or soot. Many depict women with 1940s hairstyles, alongside soldiers and well-dressed men. Some are signed with initials.
Digital profile portrait of Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lecter. He is shown from the chest up, facing toward the right, against a dark, textured background. A thin, glowing white circular halo frames his head.
A picture of Neil, leaning on a desk where his laptop stands. He is doing a demo on his laptop. In the background we can see Matthew and another person, blurred.
A raw, high‑contrast frame that hits with emotion. A woman’s face fills the shot, eyes shut tight, mouth wide open in a scream that refuses to settle into one meaning. It could be pain, it could be anger, it could be something tangled between the two. Light carves out the tension in her cheeks and the pull of her brow, giving every line a sense of strain.
Her hair is long, thick, curly, pushed outward in a wild, uncontained motion, as if caught in the middle of a sudden burst of feeling. Each curl catches the light differently, creating sharp, shifting highlights.
The background is dark and rough, a textured surface that adds to the unease. The whole image feels charged, unresolved. It doesn’t explain itself. It leaves you standing in the space between sound and silence, with questions that don’t settle.
Timelapse of my painting, "Girl with the Teal Hair," painted in Procreate! I don't paint people very often, so I wanted to try it with my new color style!
This is a vintage shabby chic boho style canvas of a pretty female with large peonies on her head, a pink boot on one corner, butterfly, a black and white boho floral pattern, trimmed with vintage lace and vintage butterflies.
Headhunter from tonight. I thought I wouldn’t be bothered by the blank white background this time. But it did kind of annoy me haha :D
Oh well, at least no struggle with the hair this time. In hindsight I don’t mind how it came out thought I don’t exactly know wether I reached my goals with this one. Wanted to avoid bad hard edges and be more disciplined with tone. I think the tones are okay.
This image is a surreal and haunting portrait of a person wearing a protective mask, with a dark background. The face appears distorted and layered, creating a ghostly, almost double-exposure effect. The lighting casts an intense red-orange glow on one side of the face, enhancing the eerie and dramatic atmosphere. The overall mood is mysterious and unsettling, blending elements of vulnerability and anonymity. (Aria)
Photo of a black cat named Zelda meowing, and it's placed in a circle frame above a square painting of Zelda. The portrait painting is of her with neon green eyes and purple fur.
Blurry black-and-white close-up of a translucent curtain or fabric hanging diagonally, with a clear drinking glass partially visible near the bottom center and a dark, out-of-focus background on the right.
