I
decide to paint this picture because first of all, there are only a few left. I
look over the table and see people try to pick the easy one in order to finish
it as soon as possible, so I want to do the same thing as them. However, I have
a strong feeling that I cannot paint anything if I don’t like them. This
picture is kind of complicated, but it makes me want to choose it. The artwork
below is my final result of spending two weeks playing with acrylic.
This
picture is not a realistic one. It reminds me of a talented artist Picasso, who
loves drawing these styles. However, I cannot how to find the name and the
artist for this specific painting. In my imagination, I see two people in this
work. At first I think there is a woman and a man hugging each other, but then
after I color them, I feel there are two women. The reason is they both have
long hair. The woman in the left is more obvious due to her body curve. The person
in the right I feel like she also has long hair and is wearing a scarf over her
head. That is why it seems like two women in this work to me.
The
artist uses many elements of art to create this picture. I can see lines, shapes
everywhere but I’m not sure about the color because I receive a black and white
photo. The whole picture is covered by most of straight lines. The shapes are
viewed clearly as the circles and triangles to reflect the images of people. There
is asymmetrical balance because each person stands on each half of the paper.
I
think this artwork is about two people are trying to be closer to each other. There
seems to be an invisible wall separates them away. And by their strong
emotions, they want to reach and hug their friend, maybe their lover. I don’t know
the title of this painting so I cannot say whether it fits or not. Imaging that
I can climb inside, I will feel myself very tiny. These lines and shapes might
hurt me due to its pieces. It looks like it will swallow me by its attraction.
This is an unrealistic style if drawing so I don’t
expect other people will see the way I see it, just like the artist of this
picture knows for sure that nobody will have an exact idea with his/her
feeling. They might see in this work is a normal happy couple. They might feel
there is a mother playing with her child. Or they might imagine a marriage is
happening in an aisle. Well, if I owned this picture, I would fame it and hang
it up to my favorite area in my house. This would be a treasure to me because
it’s drawing by a very talent artist. I will remember this picture because of it
various ways to feel it. It leads people to a lesson of looking at an event
from different sides and understand it, then each of us will have separated
idea to solve a problem. It also help push the imagination and creativity of
people.
I
spend two weeks to finish this artwork. I feel so proud of myself from doing
something which I think is huge. It takes me a lot of time and patience but I receive
interesting and passionate. It is a little secret that I don’t use pencil at
all for this picture. All I did is keep painting in different layers to color
it. That is why some tiny details are simplified. I love painting like this
more and more in class later, and I prefer knowing the title and the artist of
the work.
