Finished finally the Gustav Klimt wallpaper set

I must admint I am totally unsatisfied with the result. It was just too difficult. Klimt was a genious, so how dare I to imitate any of his work. But I just have this artists series idea in my mind, I must follow through for the sake of following through. Perhaps to prove myself that I am not lazy to finish something that I began - like I normally do. (Too many projects parallely, e.g. 15 books that I started to read and read bits every now and then.)

So let me show you the inspiring pictures and the little details that drove me mad. Basically the "Tree of life" was the drive I used it's colours in the set and small details. The picture's left part is titled "Expectation" and the right part is "Fullfilment". Many times you can find them separately on posters, mugs, T-shirts etc. I am not sure, but it seems the lady on the left is totally jealous but in fact, she is jealous of herself - at a later stage of her own life. I think it is a very complex painting and full of little stories. I used CorelDraw to make the spirals (and actually all other  drawings, like triangles) and used other supplementary software because Corel is unable to export a decent jpg...

Gustav Klimt's "Tree of life"

Of course Klimt's most famous painting is "The kiss", so I couldn't leave it out. I used the both the man's and the woman's dress pattern for a weird effect - the colours are totally unsync with the rest of the wall. But Klimt was shocking his audience back then, so I am trying to shock myself :D

  

Here are the small details I really loved here:

 

And here's what became of it:
