A portrait of Beethoven with headphones on a background in green, blue, red, gray and orange.
The artis is best know for his work as designer.
This graphic work uses previously existing image of Ludwig van Beethoven​ (1770-1817), a clasical music composer. Beethoven was deaf for the last years of his life, so the headphones on him can be seen as joke or an aid from the XXI century. On the other hand combining headphones and the bright colors of the background, the result is a modern Beethoven.
