For this project, I drew a portrait of the French surrealist John Miro, from the photograph below. I broke his face into abstract blocks of color, reminiscent of his characteristic style. Colors were positioned according to a similar mathematical principal as that Miro used in his paintings. I slanted the image, so it would be a bit skewed, adding to the playful dadaist feel. I partially surrounded the artist's head with selected paintings (by him). Finally broke up the canvas by adding yellow triangles in three of the four corners, akin to Miro's use of asymmetry.
