Analysis of my works.

“Kite”, by Me (2006)

Now I will try to analyse and criticize work I have done by myself and have a look on it from the different angle.

First of all I want to make some attention on the visual characteristics of this work.

This picture was painted with ligth colours. Mainly with different gradations of blue, green and yellow colours. I should mention that this image presented on the screen and this factor makes big contribution on the atmosphere of this piece. When printed version of it would have a little bit dull colours. This image generally drawn with curvy lines, that makes this picture looks more interesting in this context which meaning I will try to open further.

This image has some kind of surrealism. There is the only character on this picture – kite, which has fictional appeareance. As we can see this kite seems to be like a live being having its own face, emotion and facial expression. His face has s sly gaze, looks like he is happy about managing to escape from his master. Or maybe it’s actually master’s dreams or flight of fantasy? Also there are no stropes, without them flight is not possible at all. So this kite could exist only on the emotional and dreaming level of our councesness. Also there is a small element, a red dot on the forehead, that give us a hint on the indian culture which gives me association with its spiritual live. There is one more element which meaning doesn’t clear for me – it is a small octopus drawn in the middle of the kite. Does it mean anything, or just exists like a decoration?

There is no title on this image, so it doesn’t makes anybody to think about this peace in the particular way. It gives a freedom for surveyor’s thoughts. There is no obvious contrasts that could give a focus on something. Picture is well balanced.

I think that the audience of this piece of art could be section of people liking mystics, dreaming and surrealism things. And it doesn’t have any agitation or polictical aims.

I think that time is shown on the picture is about four o’clock at summer time. Because it is still blue sky but there is a moon already.

The technics it was made with called - digital painting. I have selected this way to produce my idea because at that time I had a purpose to learn more about the programm called Corel Painter and using tablet with it.
