... Imaginary Model by Rodrigo Costa

Comments

Your memory has worked really well, I like this a lot, has an other worldly quality to it

I agree with Heather, other worldly this certainly is, beautifully memorised

Hi Heather! ... When I refer my memory it doesn't mean I have built a figure exactely as the figures I saw. Based on them I just developed the mos pleasant model that I could develop... Thank you :-)

Hi Thalia! ... As I responded to Heather, my memory has worked from my experience on drawing and painting figure. Only it!... I have not so prodigious memory allowing me, in detail, reconstruct my visions... Thank you :-)

... This painting has its history. In 2004, in Marraquexe, I found a little boy who would be a magnificent model. However where he was, a mortuary house, It was forbidden to photograph... My memory brought him forever. Some days ago, in Porto, I ran after another black adolescent —dressed according the tradition in his country... Once more my wish couldn't be satisfied. So, I tried my black model by memory... I just looked for image from adjustable jellaba... But I keep waiting my black model...
