This piece was created using the grisaille technique with oil paint. During the shading process I used a thin oil pen to write my thoughts on love, answering many personal questions along the way. What is love and what defines it? Does anything define it? What do I really love? What should I love, what constitutes love and deserves it? What is not love? Why do I love?
The tightness in the face and color is the main focus of this piece, and exemplifies how complex this topic is. While the pinks and reds exaggerate the emotion in her face for it, the cool green and purple shades imply sickness- and the uneasiness felt- for the subject.
