The Detective Work of Art
Szendrei shares her detailed process: “When people come to see my pictures and we meet on exhibition openings I receive many times the question, what kind of things do inspire me to make a picture? I have got a new picture as an answer to this question showing how stamps can inspire me."
A Journey Through Italian and Hungarian Stamps
The artist details how she used Italian stamps and used Colnect, an online stamp catalog, to find details to the vision. The stamp was apart of a series titled, Coin of Syracuse (1953 – 1965), which featured Artemis, Greek god of hunting. Also a Hungarian series issued in 1971 titled Hunting and fishing to complete the design, glueing the stamps and finding also the best frame for the picture.
