I was drawn to this artist's work on the blog because she has an interesting approach to the depiction of the human body. She uses oil paint to demonstrate the body in a metaphysical point-of-view rather than a literal one. A combination of techniques that she uses allows the viewer to experience her work as an illusion which is depicting both the inner and outer self of the human body in connection with the natural world. The things I immediately noticed when I observed her work were the shadows and highlights, the use of soft and simple lines, the natural blending of forms and shapes, and the use of warm and cool colors that all complement each other appropriately. These elements contribute to her goal of showing three-dimensionality.
I definitely plan to incorporate some of her strategies into my own work. One aspect that sets her apart from a lot of other artists is that she focuses on the magnification and decontextualization of skin. I am considering taking the approach of a close-up observation for my drawing because it will reflect one aspect of my personality appropriately-- my specific attention to detail. I also plan to use the same artistic style that she uses. I want to use soft lines and shading with both warm and cool colors in order to portray myself the way I imagine would be the best possible version of myself.
