Embracing Painting

This painting is inspired by the beauty of seeing yourself for the first time. I came across this beautiful photo of a girl in the famous club "Studio 54", a simple photo of her in her beautiful shiny dress looking in this ceiling mirror and I couldn't stop thinking about her for a whole month before I even dared to start painting. I kept constantly thinking about how she probably had a few drinks that night, was probably listening to really loud music in the club. Her mind at this moment could be in so many different places that only she herself is capable of knowing. Was she happy and hanging out at the club on a Friday night with her friends, or perhaps heartbroken by some terrible overwhelming old love, or even trying to numb her disquietude in the noisy and young night in New York. Alcohol has this power to make you more susceptible to what's inside you, and I believe that in that moment when she locked eyes with those eyes staring back at her, she embraced whatever emotions she was feeling. Who are you when you can be anything you want?
