"My true love... :Gustav Klimt Style
Inspired by eug3n
OK you know guys I like to experiment with the format now and then to avoid things getting too stale around here.
So, I want to try something different for today.
Let’s try to illustrate an image emulating the style of a famous painter (But it is OK if you want to ignore this rule.)
I have selected Gustav Klimt, who happens to be one of my personal heroes.
I love his work because I have always admired his strong illustration style, his great desing skills and his rock solid composition style.
He was one of the principal artists of the art noveau movement, and his work has been imitated and copiend to this day. Even in moder films (like Coppola's Dracula) you can see the influence of his style.
