Past and Future

Influences can become a source of creating something new based on the past. Art movements such as Dada and Surrealism have new ways of approaching a subject. 
 I had to illustrate the Frankenstein book by Mary Shelley influenced by Dada movement. So here are the results..

Raoul Hausmann
John Heartfield


and my illustrations... The first one was the cover and back of the book, so I had to enlarge it, for the final stage.   










  The second illustration was to illustrate the text,
so this was my interpretation of the monster. Having mechanic parts gave the sense that the books story applied also in today's  society,to create a monster.
