I am continuing my Art History series, where I recreate iconic works by artistic masters from around the world throughout history, with Vincent van Gogh’s “Irises” from the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Vincent van Gogh’s Irises, Recreated by Joshua Barrera Metallic ink on black paper 8.5 x 5.5” 2022
I used Zig Kuretake metallic pens to create this study in my sketchbook.
Joshua Carlos Barrera is a visual artist and art manager based in the Philippines. His artistic practice is a play of Pointillism, Cubism, techniques in Chinese and Japanese ink painting, and Philippine ethnic patterns. Drawn from family, travels, and love for video game concepts, his works intersect themes of heritage, fantasy, nature, fashion, and city living – imprinting a unity of fragmented ideas. Aside from creating artwork, he loves to collect art and toys, take snapshots, and travel around the world to see galleries, museums, cultural sites, nature, and great big cities.
