Red Hector - The Ice Maiden(s)

 

The series called The Ice Maiden is an homage to fashion photography which has been a huge inspiration on my visual style over the years as a photographer. Great quantities of money used to be spent on the best locations and concepts and top photographers. As a result fashion magazines became  snapshots in time that showcase commercial art, design, graphics and fine art.

The title is also a reference to the Prefab Sprout song "The Ice Maiden" which in turn is rumored to be a reference to the blond singer in ABBA. Perhaps the appreciation of such remote detached unattainable beauty is also suggested.

Red Hector - Girl From Rio

This piece was inspired by the song "The Girl From Ipanema" about a woman walking the beach in Rio, Brazil and a man that admires her but can't get her attention. I transformed it into AI animation using Kaiber AI and this time with music from AIVA. 

The Bossa nova song from the early 1960's song is getting attention since the legendary singer of it passed away today - Astrud Gilberto.
