Project #1 - Self Portrait
Title: Drive
Size: 23 cm x 30 cm Medium: Oil on Canvas Date: September 2018 Exhibition Text
Drive is an acrylic on canvas self portrait inspired by Toulouse-Lautrec and the use of Chiaroscuro in Renaissance paintings and sculptures. The use of shadow and the contrast between the light and dark areas of the face, in addition to the emphasis on the eyes and a blank facial expression, are meant to represent drive and motivation in life without the obstructions of others’ input. The dark background and its blending with dark tones symbol complete focus towards one’s goals and ideals. |
