About the artwork

This wire portrait shows a young woman from Rajasthan, India, wrapped in a traditional veil, a ghoonghat. Her gaze is calm and penetrating at the same time, and her eyes speak louder than words. The subtle bindi on her forehead and the fine details in her jewellery betray pride and culture.

The portrait is composed of many loose black threads, which give the work a playful character. Together, they create a vivid image full of texture and movement. The subject shows subtle densities, especially in the hair, the veil and the shadow in her eyes. The background of handmade paper gives the work a warm, natural base.

This artwork exudes tranquillity and dignity. It fits beautifully into interiors with a spiritual or worldly atmosphere. The work is part of a series of human portraits as well as a large number of animal portraits, including endearing baby animals. You can find it in my personal shop in the 'wire portraits' folder.

This series grew out of my love for materials with character and story. Handmade paper fascinates me. Every fibre, every irregularity is unique and depends on the origin of the paper. The thin black thread makes it fragile and in some places almost seems to merge into the paper itself. This combination, together with my passion for creating portraits of people and animals, ensures that I have worked on each artwork with great pleasure and dedication. Each portrait is carefully constructed using Artificial Intelligence, with an eye for detail and a deep sense of connection. A unique collaboration between human feeling and digital imagination.
