MY St. Catherine

This digital print - again researching and sampling the paintings of Raphael, Titian and Da Vinci - but now with Matisse-style nude linear repeats to make up the patterns for this particular Madonna image. The final female is a combination of three paintings - Madonna del latte by Da Vinci, The Aldobrandini Madonna by Titian and St Catherine by Raphael. 

 I tried vibrant colours for one example but in an attempt to retain my current style for the other 'mother' prints kept to a more limited colour palette. I like the continuation of the 'bubble' pattern appearing as a constant - see Boris Mikhailov's 'red' series - where one idea - colour, shape, pattern -  becomes the thread running through the work.
