·         Description: Victor Brauner use oil paints to make that picture use tress, heart and paint brushes.

·         Analysis: He uses bright and light colors to paint that picture. He also balance color like on the neck its dark that describe the shadow. Special effect that has been used in this picture is that he used the eyes and nose of the guy into paint brushes to paint the picture.

·         Interpretation: Artist is showing that the guy is painting from his eyes and nose and he also look like that he is sleeping.

·         Judgment: I think that the picture look good because he balanced his color tone, used right color etc.

Erik Johansson is a photographer and retoucher from Sweden based in Berlin, Germany. Working both on personal and commissioned projects. He doesn’t capture moments, he capture ideas. To Erik photography is just a way to collect material to realize the ideas in his mind with a problem solving approach. Although one photo can consist hundreds of different images he always want it to look like it could have been captured. Every new project is a new challenge and the goal is to realize it as realistic as possible.
