A labor of love that is all about love. A. KAYE’s The Heart of Women project combines photography, digital manipulation and abstract art to create the final unforgettable image. And more than the art and the techniques, this “heart art” is meant to honor the inner and outer beauty of women of all ages, races and walks of life.
The women at the “heart” of this art own the distinction of being both the finished art and also the canvas. Using skin-safe, nontoxic tempera paint, his subjects, all “everyday” (yet extraordinary) women – not models – who range in age from 18 to 60, paint themselves – their own bodies and skin. The process allows each woman to be free and in control because she determines the look and feel of the art she inspires.
The amazing result: When the women’s work is done, A. KAYE’s process is just beginning. He selects the most dynamic images, the ones that speak to his heart. Drawing on both high-tech digital tools and his remarkable creativity, he crops, enhances and designs to produce finished images that are simultaneously abstract, emotional and sensual.
While each image is highly personal, there is some of each woman in every one of these women. We invite you to experience this amazing multi-genre process – and be sure to let us know which woman (or women) “spoke” to you.
