About The Artwork

This life size figure painting was inspired by my friendship with a woman called Isabel. We met during a performance art project some time ago. The dark romanticism of the turn of the century Symbolists always appealed to me - having travelled to Vienna and Brussels and I knew from the beginning I wanted to make the painting confrontational and otherworldly. In real life, the painting is large and imposing. It was exhibited at a large gallery in the North of England called Dean Clough. At the preview event it was fun to observe how the public reacted. I saw many men in particular sharply look away from the painting, as if they couldn't make 'eye contact.' I wondered what secrets people hold and the lengths people go to to hide these secrets? Isabel is being lifted by crows, appearing to levitate, upon a seven pointed star - representing the divine goddess. Isabel lives in a temple in India now - having committed to the practice of elevating her own consciousness.
