Title of piece: Asian of beauty

Created: June 2009

I highlighted a cultural revival of femininity and passion through bright colours to engage a distinct feeling of confidence. The character in amongst many flowers is poised with grace and serenity. Collaborating fusion of colors and heavy hand textures brought the character to life. I used skip trowel and imperfect smooth textures to balance out the full identity of the woman but simplified the main focus. My inspiration came from touring around the asian community in toronto one afternoon and respecting the detailing that goes into Kimono's and floral arrangements. I was particularly impressed by the thought that went into placing many feminine colors together while keeping elegance and originality a priority.
