Unconditional Existence
Painting
2022
acrylic paint, watercolour, photo transfer, glitter glue, and cellophane on stretched canvas
30 inches by 40 inches
A fantasy styled portrait.
“Unconditional Existence is a compelling work of art that delves into the intricacies of self-image. Through the use of a fantastical and imaginative approach, I've employed the technique of photo transfer to create a textured and abstracted background, evoking a sense of ambiguity and indeterminacy that aptly reflects the fluid nature of self-image. As well as using glitter as a striking contrast to the bruised figure, effectively capturing the viewer's attention and conveying a sense of emotional intensity.I've chosen a vibrant and electrifying neon color palette, further enhancing the visual impact of the piece while imbuing it with a sense of urgency. The attention to detail is evident in the outfit worn by the figure, with each element carefully crafted, from the bold jewelry to the intricate designs, reflecting my growing fascination with fantasy clothing and jewelry.”
