“I Have The Hobby Of Color”  Gian Luigi Ruggeri

 THE COLORS GALLERY 

This gallery contains my oldest works, dating back to 1999.
Only the last one, about Julia Roberts is of 2001 or 2002, if I remember correctly

These are the first experiments, the first attempts to play with images and graphics programs, more precisely GIMP, an open source software with a lot of options and tools available.
I found it amusing what it allowed to do and so I started looking for nice or interesting images and modifying them, especially adding colors that would transform the image into something different, new.

Since they are the oldest graphic works they are also the simplest.
As explained in the about page in 1999 we had smaller screens, much less powerful computers, and much slower connections, all of which contributed to smaller, lower quality images, but they are a starting point.
