TRAGIC GENIUSES WATERCOLOR PORTRAITS
FROM THE INTERVIEW :
What inspires you?
Literature, especially feminist literature, it built my confidence and my womanhood. In the current pieces I want to bring those women back to the public eye, because some of them are just forgotten.
Furthermore, I hope you to feel the loneliness—and what’s behind it—of the portrayed person. And, ultimately, what that means for us all.
Lots of people heard about Max Ernst, but not as many know who Leonora Carrington was. So I paint her, to remember her, bring attention to her work. Actually I always paint with a book on the side, or—in case of Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf, I was listening to their own poetry readings on YouTube. It’s a surreal feeling and I like to think they watch me painting:), sitting on the puffy comfortable cloud, not bothered by the world’s demur anymore.
