“Turn the Blind Eye”
This is the first painting I started for the “Enchantress” series. The collection is reminiscent of some of my past works. I felt like revisiting the theme of lady faces surrounded by stone carved filigree and gothic architecture to create an environment of elegance and wonder. The smooth arks and intense stares were what drove me to continue creating paintings of this subject matter.
This collection expresses many complex emotions that can be hidden behind the perceived beauty of the female form.
I created unique narratives for each of the figures.
“Such a beautiful face’, one may say, “but what is she thinking?”
It is left for the viewer to interperet:
What’s really going on behind those eyes?
Emptiness was what came to mind during the designing process for this piece. I chose to leave the eyes empty so the viewer can perceive whatever emotion they feel looking at her. I have done some tattoos with the eyes like this and feel like it gives any face a haunting feeling. My typical design process is creating digital mock ups using photo references to build a collage of images. It helps me to have a clear starting point, but I always leave myself a little wiggle room for adjustments. I like to “let the canvas tell me what to do.”
The face I chose was meant to have a youthful charm and a mildly sinister smile. With one side of the lips pointed up ever so lightly with a smirk.
