The Doctor - Original Painting

“The Doctor”  40” X 30” X 2” Mixed Media on a Cradled Wood Panel, Framed

“One, two, three, four! Ring my friend, I said you'd call Doctor Robert” - The Beatles

This piece was inspired by the Beatles song "Doctor Robert" through its vibrant and eclectic composition, reflecting the song's energetic and enigmatic nature. The figure, dressed in a mix of patterns and colors, symbolizes the persona of Doctor Robert—someone who is intriguing and multifaceted. The street scene, enhanced by bold and contrasting hues, evokes the song's upbeat tempo and mysterious undertones. This visual portrayal captures the essence of the song's exploration of perception and the allure of a charismatic figure.

This piece is part of my ongoing exploration of "Faces and Facades," a series of mixed media paintings where people and places intertwine, with architecture serving as a vessel for unseen narratives. Inspired by a character from a Beatles songs, each work aims to evoke the stories and emotions hidden beneath the surface, inviting viewers to look beyond the obvious and discover the deeper layers within.

This painting is also available as a canvas print

My mixed media paintings consist of acrylic paint and digital collage. They are painted on museum quality archival paper and then laminated to a cradled wood panel, varnished, waxed and then framed in a black floater frame.
