“Anyone could be a sexual attacker”. Image for an
awareness campaign against sexual attacks and vio-
lence. A studio photograph of a model wearing a reli-
gious ceremonial gowns was retouched to visualize how
different can the inner self be from its exterior image.
The teeth of a young mandril were addad to increase
the effect. The stenght and impact when restructuring
new symbols to pre-conceived images is here evident.
Two versions were made. The final one swown below.

+ exploration of techniques
digital imaging
Painting used for educational purposes at the
Santo Tomas Campus of Universidad Del Mar of
Chile, Graphic Representation lectures. The work
was made with typographic ink, primary colours
only (Küppers chromatics), in a transparent-lay-
ered technique similar to the one used by Jan Van
Eyck. The scanning process would not render the
image intensity in full sun light. Therefore digital
retouching was necessary to bring the vibrance
of colours back to life. After that, additional re-
touch of colours was made to bring the image to
the maximum colour impact possible for screen-
viewing.

I see this work as a tribute
to Optical Art.
I always wondered what
kind of Digital Artist would
Viktor Vasarelly have been
if living now: a 3D digital
artist of the greatest cali-
bre, or perhaps he would
have never touched a key-
board, refusing to loose
the “substract touch”...
