The Barber Shop Old Marrakech, Morocco/ Oil on canvas/ SOLD

Description

” Taking my inspiration from an old sepia photograph I found in a junk shop in Marrakech, I introduced colour and simplified the ingredients to come up with this composition. There is something about old photographs, in one colour, that triggers the mind to go back in time. I had to have a sense of being there and seeing the colours; dusty shades of red and green, pale ochres and muted purples all came to mind along with the drama of the lighting. “
