There is a combination in this image that ought to be unpleasant and somehow is not.
That is the entire reason I could not leave it alone. Something here is close to repellent and completely compelling at the same time, and I wanted to know which of the two would win once it was in oil. Weeks later, neither had.
Days at a time over several weeks. No sketch, no target, no schedule.
It stopped when I was finished with it.
What do you do with it?
Original oil painting on stretched canvas. Signed, one of one. This is a unique work, not a print and not an edition.
From Saved, a series of oil portraits of women whose own image is their work.
Painted in my studio in Boekel, the Netherlands. Ships insured from the Netherlands. Certificate of authenticity included.
Inspired by a photograph of Elisa Brandani.
