Beauty

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, according to most philosophers from 18th century and onwards. Classical philosophers would not agree with that fashion of thinking. In their eyes beauty is an ideal form, defined by a set of harmonious proportions. Symmetry, the golden ratio, maybe even rhythm etc.

Anyway I think (s)he's pretty beautiful. Wouldn't you agree?

To circumvent the limitations that digital pixel based artworks have, I’ve created this portrait as a (infinitely) scalable vector graphic. This means it can be scaled without losing its razor sharp definition.

The edition on sale here has a size of 12000 x 16000 pixels, which is ample to print in high quality - 300 dpi - on 39”x 52” (100 x 135 cm). The file is in JPG-format.

This portrait was created first as a painting in acryl on canvas, then digitized and converted into vector graphics. The vector graphics have been intensively processed to achieve the final result.
