- Summary/Artist's Statement
- My creative work is a mix of painterly and graphic. The subject matter of this piece is a scene of two people merging into one and having vines and plants to be made of their body. The title of this work is “Growing Together”. The drama of the different color see light sources really adds to the work and give the viewer a sense of unease. I painted this digitally. I was inspired by a book that I was reading at the time called “Helpmeet” by Naben Ruthnum. My goal as in artist is to cause the viewer to feel an emotion with my work and make my art readable. I think this piece achieved these goals because it made me feel uneasy and also I can see was everything is in the piece. Barely anything in this work feels muddy. This artwork turned out amazing. Everything that I wanted for this piece turned out exactly like how I wanted it to be. This artwork influences the way I approach different artworks because it transformed direct the point of attention with rendering and the minimal rendering on other parts of the artwork.
