I was captivated by the first one, then I liked the one with all the colours and little flowers even more... but when I got to this one... I couldn't take my eyes off it. I realised how it was made because I'd seen similar ones, but never a face. It's my favourite!😍

Check my reply to Davide, I posted the piece the artist entered the last year's edition with. It's a face and most likely she is specializing in faces, or this is just a coincidence, to see two portraits in a row.
The artist specialises in faces, it’s true; both pieces are beautiful... what an impressive piece of work!! It must have taken ages to create that!
I don't think so. Most likely feels that way because we don't know how it is done, but for someone with experience, it's easier.
So be it, and may he create many more works.
Have a brilliant day!💗
