After mastering the technique of simultaneously utilising her hands and feet to sketch four very lifelike portraits, a Dutch artist ranks among the top limb-pressionists.
Rotterdam-based artist Rajacenna may work on up to six images at once while holding paintbrushes in each of her limbs.
To improve productivity and prevent boredom, the quadri-dextrous artist taught herself how to sketch with her feet and hands.
At the age of 16, she began painting, and she rapidly gained publication as an artist.
Because of health concerns in the previous years, Rajacena added, “In 2019 the notion occurred to me to be more productive.
I “began performing it without any practise at all.”
Rajacenna asserts that a scan she had demonstrated remarkable brain function when she was concurrently sketching many pieces.
The left and right brains are completely interconnected, and their levels of connection are three times greater than average, she said.
As a result, information is exchanged relatively quickly.
These items are made using a very complex procedure.
‘It’s continuously multitasking between all the drawing things I’m working on,’ Rajacenna said. I continuously change my emphasis.
“My most recent paintings and drawings,” I said. I don’t truly consider the methods I use.
I just attempt to make it seem as realistic as possible, which is obviously much tougher when you work on so many at once.
She can spend up to 40 hours on one drawing.
She often creates pictures, and the individuals she depicts—public personalities like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Billie Eilish, or Justin Bieber—serve as inspiration.
“I always depict the individuals that I love and who inspire me, and I love to make stuff up in my other work,” the artist said.
