A fantasy portrait of the Rococo marquis, with a head composed of carnivorous plant- and egg cell-like formations. A marquis who spent most of his life in prison and was known for his overflowing sexual imagination. The one who called his scenes 'figures,' carefully composed them, and brought them to the stage—a marquis whose imaginative power, artistic freedom, and consistency had an overwhelming impact. Eros and death—the two main driving forces—amplified to infinity.
Due to its miniature scale and the need for meticulous detail, I chose a copper plate instead of canvas, as its smooth surface allows for finer precision. I prepared the surface similarly to copper engravings, aiming to create a base where the texture of the etching interacts with the paint.
