Photomontages of paintings by old masters
AbsurdePhoton’s nudes are subtly integrated into the works of the great masters of painting.

Pointillism and Impressionnism
Better than technique (oil), the style: AbsurdePhoton’s virtual paintings are adorned with stains and light brushstrokes reminiscent of Pointillism and Impressionism.

Oil Painting in Bulk
An anthology of virtual paintings simulating oil work, from existing photos, to transform them into real works of art.

Charcoal
Charcoal is powder paint, which can be moistened to a greater or lesser extent before applying it to a canvas or paper. The less precise lines make my photos look a bit faded in this gallery.

Ink
In black and white or in color, ink drawings take on the aspect of an engraving or a comic strip. This brings a new artistic dimension when they are produced from my photos.

Colored pencils
Colored pencils aren’t just for kids! The colors enliven the drawing, they bring luminosity, a clarity that comes close to that of the photos from which they come.

Pencil sketch
Much more difficult than it looks, pencil sketching is a monochromatic art form, suitable for drawings with lots of contrast. Admire the sketches in this gallery, created from my photos.

Acrylic
Acrylic paint is the modern version of oil paint. It is more suited to contemporary forms of art. Compare the difference in this gallery, which turns my photos into other works of art.

Watercolor
AbsurdePhoton’s photos are sublimated by their transformation into watercolors, using painting and image manipulation software.
I see 30 to 40 gallery shows a week, and no matter what kind of mood I'm in, no matter how bad the art is, I almost always feel better afterward. I can learn as much from bad art as from good.
