The Story Behind “INSPIRATIONIST EV2”

INSPIRATIONIST EV2

At first glance, “Inspirationist EV2” may appear as a small fragment of colour and form, but it holds an entire story within its vibrant lines. This piece, created specifically for Richardij giclée Art Cards, distils energy, shape, and movement into a compact, impactful composition. Yet, like many meaningful moments, EV2 is just the tip of the iceberg—a culmination of an evolving creative journey that began long before its final form.

The journey started with “The Inspirationist”, a hand-painted piece in acrylic and watercolour. This foundation painting was raw and expressive, alive with textured brushstrokes and deep colours. The bold lines of the original painting set the tone, sparking what would later become an exploration of form and simplicity.

From this physical artwork emerged the first digital transformation: “Inspirationist EV1”. In EV1, I stripped the original composition back to its essentials, reimagining the shapes and colours into something more graphic, vibrant, and modern. The digital process allowed me to explore a cleaner, flatter aesthetic, transforming the original into a giclée print that retained its energy but with an evolved sense of balance and clarity.

It was from EV1 that “Inspirationist EV2” was born. I zoomed into a section of the artwork, isolating an area where the rhythm of colour and line felt most alive. The fragment, though smaller, carries the essence of the original and its digital evolution—proof that sometimes, a single detail can hold the power of the whole. Designed for art cards, EV2 becomes a miniature portal to this larger story of transformation, refinement, and artistic exploration.

So, while “Inspirationist EV2” is a vibrant piece in its own right, it also connects to its creative lineage—an evolution that celebrates tradition and innovation.

Art is about seeing possibilities, and this small card, with its vivid colours and strong shapes, invites you to look closer.

Sometimes, the smallest pieces hold the biggest stories.
