Artist Spotlight: Justin Gedak
My series of digital paintings are surreal fantasy portraits of strong but flawed women. Moody characters caught in thoughtful poses from a place far away, and a time long ago. Their personalities are powerful and brooding, their hearts harboring equal amounts of both good and dark. Their spirits are wounded, but surviving. Scarred, but prospering. Beautiful, and ambitious.
The creation process is a combination of digital painting and photo manipulation using Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop, and a Wacom Tablet. Although I do base the paintings on a lot of my own photography, I also have a lot of fun reaching out to other photographers, and using their work as reference as well. There's a mysterious sort of excitement in pursuing creativity through another person's eyes, and using other photographers work as reference really helps keep me inspired.
