Homage to Schiele by Astra de la Crème in London

Homage to Schiele

This digital artwork is inspired by a painting by the Austrian painter Egon Schiele. I saw it in a book many years ago when I was in Brazil, I bought this book for pennies in a street market and at that moment I have never seen his work before. This particular digital painting is inspired by an acrylic painting that I made back in 2014 and it is currently part of a private collection. I started reading a bit about his life and works, and often Egon painted prostitutes and this is very close to my heart and interesting to me. To imagine that a man could have the tenderness and self-awareness to portrait women that were/are ostracized in society and turning them into muses it is beyond words to me. I have now lost this book and I can't remember the particular painting I used as inspiration to produce this piece. If this rings a bell to anyone, please let me know. I would love to see her again.
