Lianne on 'Napoleon & (rocking) horse Marengo'
A painting of Napoleon Bonaparte on his favourite horse Marengo. Inspired by Jacques-Louis David's painting. Beautiful warm red-purple tones have been used. Crowns are painted in the background. Napoleon had himself crowned Emperor of France in 1804. The painting has many beautiful gold details.
After many years of experimenting with different styles, materials and subjects, Lianne Schotman has now created her own unique technique.
She combines digital art with painting.
Putting together different images, colours and textures creates a beautiful interplay. Using a mixed media technique, she glues her digital prints onto a canvas. These are then painted again to make 1 whole. Her work can be called surrealistic, but with its own twist!
She has several favourite subjects such as well-known icons (Marilyn Monroe), Old Masters with a modern twist, but she also likes to paint beautiful mysterious faces, merging rougher backgrounds, colours and a face.
I love art and I love trying out all kinds of things.
