The “Girl with a Pearl Earring” is one of the most famous oil paintings ever, created by Johannes Vermeer in 1665. Since 1902 the original masterpiece is held in Belgium. This artwork has been used as central to many different creations by many different artists over time, to say many different things.
Serguey has created something truly unique – using magazine and newspaper cuttings of famous moments in time where diamonds and pearls dominated the news and movie screens (good and bad!), then single-handedly painted multiple portraits in oil – the famous “Girl”, plus portraits on the dollar bills. Meticulous detail, a true work of art that took a long time to complete.
