Week 8: Fernando Covello

Brief Red Hit by Fernando Covello

Based on The Firebird, I tried to portrait three different pictures from the original suite. The beginning is dark, undefined and it builds towards the second portrait, which is agressive, and rhytmical. The last portrait is more lyrical, but keeping a misterious mood that I believe is in the original piece.

Also inspired by the piece, the title is an anagram of "The Firebird".
