Big City-Scarface (Part 2) - Acrylic on canvas

In the second part of the Big City-Scarface video series, Rudolf Rox completes the work with the central portrait - an iconic black and white image of Scarface. The face is created in finely graduated shades of grey, with glazed layers that deliberately allow the intensely colored Times Square background to shine through. In this way, the figure and the city merge into an atmospheric unity of urban energy and cinematic symbolism.

Compositional connection: Figure and city scene merge seamlessly into one another
Crossover of art & film: the Scarface motif becomes a projection surface for urban themes such as power, isolation and publicity

This video is ideal for art lovers who appreciate modern portraiture, contemporary techniques and depth of content.
