Roundism – 16-01-19

Julia

Last August international dancer and model Julia Gómez Avilés came over to my studio. Together with fellow artist Julia Filament we held a wonderful live session. This drawing is from a reference picture I took during that session. Others from that same session were ‘Roundism – 07-09-18’ and a colored pencil drawing ’Roundism - 17-09-18’. The first more or less was in the same style and the second became more abstracted.

The Search

My aim was to prolong my search for combining realism, impressionism and cubism, resulting in my personal style ‘roundism’. My last graphite pencil drawing ‘One Thing in Another – 05-01-19’was rather angular of nature. Therefor I like to vary as much as I can. Maybe it is similar to the search in each work? So the thing is this: I vary in this respect that I work to and fro, leaving no area untouched. Surely that could be the recipy for change and renewal indeed. It is all about to keep the work open as much as possible.
