2b. Ricardo Fumanal




                Fumanal’s clean use of layering drawings of people ultimately inspired my first mini outcome in black biro of two portraits merged together; the idea came from of a variety of portraits that had similarly proportionate portraits that were fused together to create an effectively distorted outcome. Although there is a very limited palette in his work, the depth and detail in his portraits are what interested me most as they are created using one consistent medium, in contrast to Silke Werzinger’s mixed media style.


In addition, the photo realism in the outcomes further contrasts to Werzinger’s illustrative style; however I am interested in merging the two styles together to create final outcomes in the future.



Among the many strengths of his work, there is attention to detail across each medium that is used in his collection of portraits, which is where I excelled, particularly in my mini outcome. Furthermore, the portrait photos are also successful as they allow a successful merging of two or more portraits, which I also found successful in later biro outcomes. One weakness of the work lies in the limited use of mediums and colour, as the work can appear less striking without even small flecks of colour; however, I personally overcame this issue by creating a variety of textures and depths in my work to maintain the level of detail.
