Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist







Painted a set of locations from the book, following Santiago's travels through Spain, Northern Africa and the Saharan desert. I tried for a more traditional painterly look with these, pushing the colors and proportions of things slightly into the realm of the fantastic. Hopefully, if you've read the book yourselves, you might recognize the locations. Enjoy :)

  1. Beautiful paintings, they look pretty much alike as my imaginations! Aren't you going to have the works published. I could imagine a beautiful edition of the book accompanied by your pictures...
