What parts of our identity last beyond our death? The relationship we had with our family. Though we may not see eye to eye with our family memebers they are the key factor in personal identity. In this painting I explore the figure in shadow. I use the formula to create something extremely interesting to look at. The themes directing this paint are my mother and father. I wear my father's jacket. He is first one you notice in the family. The most outgoing and the most friendly. My mother is represented in the tea kettle. She is always there, old reliable, waiting in the corner for you to be ready for her. Both of them together create a huge part of who I am and where I have been. This painting not only shows my connections with my family but my love for art.
Your ideas of identity depict the struggle of the Artist and tells the story of your family. In what other way can you tell stories abot yourself or others. Try a theme of "5 people i never want to forget" in "simple shapes where color changes everything".
