Girl With A Pearl Earring - Word Mosaic Art Print

Word Mosaic Art Print by Curtis Epperson

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ARTWORK

The famous glance has been holding its mystery for centuries.

She turns toward you.

There is a gleam in her eyes, a blue-and-gold turban, an improbably large pearl and just enough expression to keep the whole painting slightly out of reach.

Curtis created his interpretation entirely from 129 different words and phrases connected to the original work and its story.

Looking Over Her Shoulder. Intimate Setting. Painted In 1665. Was Lost For 200 Years. Nicknamed ‘The Mona Lisa Of The North’. Has A Gleam In Her Eyes.

He spent 30 hours turning those words into one of art history’s most recognizable faces.

From a distance, the mystery remains.

Up close, the silence is full of clues.

Girl With A Pearl Earring gave me a mix of visual details, history and mystery.

Looking Over Her Shoulder. Has A Gleam In Her Eyes. Improbably Large Pearl As An Earring. Painted In 1665. Was Lost For 200 Years.

I used 129 different words and phrases and spent 30 hours drawing them into the finished portrait.

I like the contrast between how quiet the original image feels and how much information can be hidden inside it.

You see that famous glance first.

Then you move closer and the story starts showing itself.
