Oil Painting for the Cover of a Poetry Collection
I was commissioned to create an original oil painting for the cover of a poetry collection. Before picking up the brush, I carefully read through the manuscript to immerse myself in its themes and emotions. From this, I translated the author’s words into a visual language capturing the spirit, mood, and sentiment of the work in a single image.
The result was not just a cover illustration, but an artistic interpretation of the collection itself, a painting that visually extends the reader’s experience before they even open the book. By blending literature and fine art, the project offered the author a truly authentic and personal artistic expression of their writing.
When clients commission me, they don’t just receive artwork; they receive a collaborative creative process that transforms their ideas and words into a one-of-a-kind visual experience.
