As I started this artwork, I had to deep dive into a self discovery process. Reflecting, analyzing, and noticing features I hadn't before, was a very interesting experience. But the part that followed that, was even more enriching. I had to pause and decide on a couple of elements of my persona, to resume it. By doing the other half of my face as if it were bright pink flowers, I intended to communicate femininity and genuinity (given that pink is a very feminine color and that flowers are completely unique and natural). To achieve my final artwork I only used two materials, acrylic paints and pencils, and I thought they were great because of how blendable the paint is, and the ability of the pencil to add value. The work I created is of course surrealist, and the relation can be observed because of the fictional element that half of my face being flowers is impossible, yet since flowers do exist, the slight chance prevails. It's surrealist, so despite not being real at all, it perhaps could be…

With “The OverTaker”, I wanted to communicate a sense of competitiveness, dedication and patience. With this said, the formula 1 Lewis Hamilton (famous F1 racer) surrealist side touched on previous terms relating not only to what it takes to be an F1 driver, but also relates to life in general. In addition, the name “The OverTaker” comes from the famous tactic seen in many races, where out of nowhere a car pases the other. Furthermore, I chose special pencils, paint and sharpies to do the artwork because it gave me the freedom of drawing and decorating the final vision and bringing it to life. This artwork relates to surrealism because as mentioned before contains a double meaning of F1 aspects (competitiveness, dedication and patience) but can also be applied to life and challenges faced along the way. Which connects to the final goal of hopefully the viewer picking up on this and connect the dots.

Exhibition texts / Intentions: I was inspired to do this project with an ice cream, because I believe everyone feels that ice cream represents happiness, and as something says, ice cream can express your personality by being impulsive, easily suggestible and an idealist. I feel it connects in a strong way with my surroundings.

With "race to the end" I wanted to communicate dedication and compromise. I chose Carlos Sainz for the surrealist side because he is a very determined driver, he is always trying to be first. Furthermore, the tittle "Race to The end" means to never give up, to do every thing until it's finished.

I chose to work with drawing pencils, coloring pencils and paint because they were very efficient and pencils were very good for adding value and shadows to the realistic part of the portrait, colored pencils because it is very easy to draw small things, and it would be nice as the realistic part was also drawing with pencils and not paint. Finally, I used paint for the background, which I thought it would give a nice look to the art work as it would be distinguished from the portrait itself, because it was made out of pencil and colored pencils. This artwork relates to surrealism because formula 1 is not only driving, it has also some meanings behind it, like always training for being the best and every time getting better at it, the dedication and time it takes to get good at something and be better. I hope the viewer senses happiness and an enjoyable experience by looking at my surrealistic self-portrait.

In this artwork I drew a Corona Beer to try to communicate how sometimes people go to the beach and put beer on their hair while laying on the sun for it to lighten up and become blonder. In my artwork I used paint and watercolors. I chose to use paint for a more defined drawing and colors and watercolors in the background because watercolor naturally creates transparency. This allows for some changes in color even after it has dried. This can be related to surrealism in a spontaneous way by the face expression and the beer with the tie dye background.  I hope the viewer can see an overall impression that beer gives and how it can be used for such things as in hair , not only for drinking.

I wanted to communicate a “dream-like” technique. It relates to surrealism because it shows the “dream-like” scene I was trying to do.chose to work with these art materials because I like to use paint and mix colors to create different shades. I hope the viewer can come up with different meanings of the art work since it doesn’t have one specific meaning. For example when I see my painting I think of someone that is thinking a lot about other things and not paying attention to real life.
