Ruben Alterio, born 1949 in Buenos Aires, finished his art studies there before moving to Paris in 1976. His style, influenced by Velasquez, Goya and Delacroix, and his technique, oil on paper, is more of an artist than an illustrator. Similar to Toulouse-Lautrec he achieves a certain transparency and weightlessness by frequent use of turpentine.
I'm inspired by his use of dusky colors and the awkward, exaggerated poses he uses. Alterio's illustrations are more than just fashion illustrations. The way he plays with lights and shadows brings his illustrations to life. Many of his illustrations remind me of Daumier because of their exaggeration. His big ideas are capturing mood, elegance, and Parisian street life. I'm inspired by his use of colors and movement of his paintings. The colors he uses are muted and faded. My big idea is serenity, I want to capture the feelings and mood through color and images. I like how Alterio captures the mood of all his illustrations in a subjective way. I want to capture the same about serenity; a mood that creates daydreams. Everyone finds serenity in different places and I want to re-create that.
Lile Alam is an artists who uses several types of media in her art including computer painted drawings and manipulated images. Most of her paintings are big and colorful expressing happiness. She captures happiness through landscapes and beaches; mostly created on the computer. Her paintings inspire me because she uses bright colors to grasp the sea's beauty. The large shapes are aesthetically pleasing and give you a feeling of peace. I hope to convey my big idea of serenity by manipulating images and colors.
