This piece is titled Rirrom Em Ton Ym Wodahs. This is a acrylic painting of myself and a reflection in a mirror! The connection behind this piece is me questioning love. For a long time I would have this thought that would pop through my head: “Am I in love with you or am I in love of a perception I created of you in my mind?” Self love is tricky! So I wanted to portray these feelings into a painting. I wanted to play around with the one way and two way mirrors- how to test if a mirror is real or not by touching it. The hands are what convey the perception of reality. Seeing it’s a reflection, I wanted the piece to stay very unified. I wanted to keep this piece very cool, warm tones are found but primarily this piece was made with cool tones. It was hard to force myself to make so much matching paint for the skin tones, but a good practice I need to solidify- I never mix enough paint.
