l’extase -Belfius Tower Brussels

I made this work starting from the painting l’ecstasy by Frits Vandenberghe. Vandenberghe portrayed his young daughter in backlight while looking outside during spring. Next to her is a chair with a bouquet of flowers on it. I applied the same pattern, the colors of a spring landscape photographed from our bedroom window were painted on a glass plate the same size as the painting. The composition of Vandenberghe was maintained. On a second glass plate the colors of a bouquet were applied, a depth is created and the colors of the lower surface get a reflection layer.
