FEMALE BEAUTY
2022
various sizes
series of acrylic on canvas
What is beauty? The series focuses on expressing various aspects of female beauty through art, focusing especially on race, facial features, and body shapes. Inspired by Jenny Saville, I paint women returning the male gaze, using graffiti as a symbol of rebellion against beauty standards and eyes as society’s judgement of female appearance. Through paint I instill power in the viewer, inspiring them to defy misogynist societal constructs.
I explored how various hues, mark-making, and brushstroke can express the textures of flesh, navigating the boundary between abstraction and realism.
