A Girl
Description
I first painted a classically beautiful female figure with warm colours and a rich finish, and then scraped the canvas and removed the sumptuous oil paint to create this haunting blurred image. My intention was to create an ephemeral and chilling skeleton-like portrait of a girl. I then applied traces of the eyes, nose, mouth and chin with a thick impasto paint that mimics painted on beauty. The impasto paint tries to cheer up the portrait, but ultimately makes a uneasy jarring image for the viewer.

This painting emerges the glimpse positive from the bottom of this somewhere.
