This portrait took me some 9 days of intense work (please also see some details and the making). It is exclusively made with "flat circles" on a black background. I first made a photomontage using several references, then a digital painting and I finally applied my "digital circlist" technique (I placed each circle one by one, there is no automatic process). Every circle has a different color, a different tone and a different size. It's a time consuming method. I wanted this image to reflect Eminem's personality. He may be a controversial and provocative singer, I think he's an extremely clever and interesting person, he always comes up with some completely amazing stuff, with new, powerful and unexpected lyrics and melodies. He is a poet of modern times.

Critique by *Yusef-Muhammed Feb 16, 2012, 11:42:22 AM

This is another example of the amazing work created by Ben Heine. The definition of a modern artist, Ben has once again blended both popular culture with techniques usually unseen in most artwork. This deviantion in particular is reminescent of mosiacs created for cathedrals in Europe yet stays fresh and new using rap's bad boy Eminem as the subject and/or theme. What stands out to this artist is how Heine is able to retain the detail of Eminem while being restrained by the circular shape. Another strong point is the way the color is vibrant despite the fact that is features a large amount of gray. Truly an artist to watch Ben Heine sets a new standard in a world where original ideas are a rare find establishing his self as an artist artist.
