My digital fantasy art that is based on the fantastic world of ballet, and its memorable star ballerina Dame Margot Fonteyn(1919-1991).
She was an iconic and much loved figure, particularly after she was professionally paired with Russian dancer Rudolf Nurejev (1938-1993).

I love ballet especially the 'Swan Lake' that is the ballet composed by Pyotr Tchaikovsky.
It is one of the most popular ballets of all time.
Back to my creation: I composed it digitally for the 'Birds' theme.
I used Margot's lovely face as the face of my fantasy swan, that is the mix of a white and black swan, that I painted with digital painting brushes. I layered its background in Photoshop with the image and overlay material from my archive, and typed the Marilyn Monroe's quote:
'Trying to be someone else is a waste of the personal you are.'
I'm linking my art journal work at Art Journal Journey Challenge, the Mia's theme 'Birds'.
Thank you for looking.

Digitekniikalla fotosopissa tekemäni fantasia, joka perustuu baletin ihmeelliseen maailmaan ja sen ikimuistoisille tähdille Margot Fonteyn ja Rudolf Nurejev.
Heidän esiintymisensä yhdessä Tsaikovskin maailmankuulussa 'Joutsenlampi' baletissa oli aikanaan sensaatio ja siivitti heidät koko balettimaailman huipulle.
Käytin työssäni joutsenelle Margot Fonteyn kasvokuvaa, joka on fantasiani musta/valkoisesta joutsenesta, ja kirjoitin Marilyn Monroen mietteen:
'Yritys esittää muuta kuin olet, on hukkaan mennyttä personaasi'.
Art journal-sivuni tein 'Linnut'-teemaan.
Kiitos käynnistä.
Love how you balanced the black and white tones.
VastaaPoistaIt gives the swan a sense of mystery and elegance.
Beautiful art!
Thank you Veronica;

PoistaOi oi mitä ihanaa nostalgista kauneutta. Kauniit kasvot joutsenella.
VastaaPoistaKiitos 🩰
PoistaThat is an amazing idea Sirkkis. I love adding the ballerina's head to the swan. It is very dramatic that way, and the little swan near her...it must be her baby. Sorry I am late stopping by. It's been a busy week. I hope yours has been a good one. And thanks for joining Mia at AJJ. hugs-Erika
