I had the honor of participating in zemotion ’s Motherland Chronicles project www.facebook.com/motherlandchr
I decided to reinterpret one of her older piece with her newer ones . It was such an amazing process. I don’t normally work with photo references so this has been a great learning experience.
Be on the look out for the book that’s coming out! Get the updates at her facebook! www.facebook.com/motherlandchr

My favourite things about this painting are the soft colour palette and the way the light is broken up across the subject's back. Incredible work!

There is a chiaroscuro effect created by the dark negative shapes against the light values of the positive shape. As the viewer, I start my journey tangled in her hair and follow the strands down to the figure. I stop at the bouquet and notice that you have incorporated skeletal rib-like shapes. I follow the rib cage onto the back bone which carries me to the bottom of the work. The text of an excellent composition is that the viewer then can return and not fall off the edge. You have used the highlights on the body to admirably send my eye back up to enjoy the entire picture once again. I luxuriate in the textures of the flowers and hair and can almost feel the smoothness of skin. Simply breathtaking!

This is amazing. I absolutely love it.
It is beautiful but it's haunting. Maybe this is just how I'm interpreting it, but it looks like it's a comment on the institution of marriage. Really pretty on the surface, but if you look at her face, it's possible that she doesn't want to be there, and might be being forced into it. Even the title (Remember that you must die) could be a in reference to "'Till death do us part".
Really interesting piece! I'd love to hear this girl's back story...

Incredible combination of the two individual works!! This looks incredible! I love love love the color scheme and the style you draw in. The stark whiteness of her face looks like it's practically glowing against the dark dark background. I love the lighting in this one and the look on her face is enchanting! She looks like she's waiting for someone. Oh! A story needs to be written for this girl. This is so incredible. There is nothing bad I could say about it. : )))
