Cycloscape 01: The Lonely Rider

Cycloscape 01 - by Miki

Some days ago I posted here “Blues United”, my latest acrylics cycling painting, and announced some new works in my “scapes” technique, that mix between classical and digital art. A technique I quite love because it is faster (and I am an impatient artist…), but also because it allows to add some structure and colour effects, more difficult to reach with traditional pens or brushes.

Concerning the results, some people prefer a full classical technique, because it looks more real, has  more physical substance. Truth is that a paints structure on a canvas is something very beautiful, sensual even. For the eyes, and also for the fingers when one is allowed to touch the painting… which I allowed myself… and my closest friends perhaps! 

On the other side that mixed  technique allows more vibrancy. The artworks look often quite surreal, like from a dream world, or a parallel world to our normal reality.. in fact exactly like something from the cyberspace, what it is, somehow! And some people love everything cyber… personally I love all techniques, and which one I prefer depends only on my daily mood and my actual connection to the real world, which I sometimes like to lose…

Blues United

Blues United - by Miki

Acrylics on canvas – 75 x 150 cm – 2011

The title of that cycling painting probably sounds more like football, but well, I love it, and no other words, I think, could better describe that painting.

Of course, in French, I would call it

“Allez Les Bleus!”

I have decided to make a sport paintings series in acrylics on canvas, cycling is just the beginning. I am done with cycling now, the next sport theme  will be tennis. But, as I did it with bullfight, I won’t only paint sports in acrylics on canvas, i will also do some “Sportscapes”, in this personal technique I used the first time for my Fantascapes series, a mix technique between classical art (pastel, watercolour, gouache, ink, colour pens, etc…) and digital art . I will present soon here in this blog my first “Cycloscape”.

The original “Blues United” is currently for sale. If you are interested, contact me.
