Artist models: Leonardo da Vinci

With Leonardo da Vinco, I specifically want to look at his anatomical drawings, as the human anatomy is something I would like to use as subject matter in my work. The drawings are highly detailed, focusing on bones and muscles, an aspect I could look at -- depicting insides on the outside, on display. I could also introduce an aspect of surrealism, combining the flower imagery from Rozi Demant's paintings with the anatomical imagery from da Vinci's drawings. The annotation around the drawings is also something I could possibly use in my paintings, but in a way that pertains to my concept, like critical comments of the female body and the way it's presented.

Vitruvian Man (1490)

Studies of the Arm showing the Movements made by the Biceps  (1510)

View of a Skull (1489)

Studies of the Shoulder and Neck (c. 1509-1510)

The Principal Organs and Vascular and Urino-Genital Systems of a Woman  (1507)
