One of my favorite artists of all time is the American contemporary street artist Shepard Fairey, whom I admire for his signature style, notably his ability to separate colors in portraits. I wanted to explore and experiment with Fairey’s style, separating the face into separate colors and hues. Midway through the process, I began to move away from his style, and gradually began to partially blend the colors together to achieve the cool effect, as can be observed in Prism.
