So, after a short-term period in which my obsession was De Chirico's works, a new one has arose. I am fascinated by the anatomy, all the details of the human body, and particularly, the skeleton of the human being. It is evident that the 2 new projects are both based on the skeleton of the hand, but I tried to modify it's usual appearance on Google.images or anatomy/biology textbooks. By doing these 2 projects, I tried to enhance its structure, to develop a sense of power and terror, but also to display it in different and unusual ways: the painting of the movements and positions of the hands I decided to do with acryllic skin or muscle-related colours, such as red, brown, pink, also to confuse the viewer's 'view', as well as to demonstrate that each thing, each object can be seen in variuous ways, in different perspectives. The small-sculpture of the hand, I decided to paint with yellow and white-chocolate colours, especially because I would like to create significant contrast between the dark colour of the quilt and the bright colour of the hand. To do the sculpture, I first of all drew an outline of the hand and had it cut out for me. Then, I started to work on the complex bony structure of the hand with clay, which then I covered in modroc, as I did with my previous sculpture of the anorexic woman. I painted it in white and then decided to enhance the darker parts by using light and normal primary acryllic yellow. Below, are some pictures which show the way the sculpture of the hand has developped since the day I began it, which was approximately 1-2 days ago:
