About the artwork

This artwork shows the impressive head of a lion, constructed from countless bolts, nuts, metal plates and other parts. The longer you look, the more details you discover: the mane consists of rusted screws and feathers, while the eyes and snout are carefully formed from round metal rings and gears. The rusty brown of the iron contrasts powerfully with the weathered blue-green background, giving the portrait a tough and industrial look.

The mood of this work is powerful and robust. An ode to the lion as king of animals, but translated into an industrial context. It gives a cool and masculine feel, perfectly suited to an interior that is allowed to exude guts and character. Think of a mancave, an industrial loft, or a modern workspace where art is allowed to add a tough accent.

It looks like someone went by the junkyard to collect as many rusty parts as possible and puzzled endlessly with them until this powerful portrait came to life. Not every detail could look like it is 'in real life', but it is the combination of material and creativity that makes this work unique.

This painting is part of a series of six artworks in the same style: a racing bike, angling fish with lamp, dragon, fisherman, lion and whale.

My love for working with different materials and recycling objects that have lost their original function inspired me to create this series using AI.
