Personal project (2019)
I’ve always loved the original painting this illustration is based on, The Nobleman with his Hand on his Chest, by El Greco; and, even though I don’t know a lot about the Star Wars universe, I do really like how it’s a cultural phenomenon visually stunning and a kind of modern mythology.
That’s why I considered an interesting idea to mix both styles and see what would happen if this 16th century nobleman tried a Darth Vader helmet on like a modern cosplayer. It was also a nice way for me to improve my portrait skills while taking a modern culture reference into classical art.
Signed limited edition prints of this Star Wars illustration are also available in my Big Cartel shop!
