The Alchemist

year of creation: 2022-2023

materials: acrylic paint, varnish, marker, pen, posca pen, canvas

process: The 1st law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed. This started with layers of marker, acrylic paint, and varnish. A year later came miniature details in pen, and the glueing of golden colored flakes. Freestyle drawing in nature with posca pen produced an alchemist, a man with a beard and helmet, facing to the left side, with the old planet morphing into his shoulder and moon coming from his chest. The two crescent moons above represent balance.
