About this artwork
Inspired by Rosalba Carriera’s 1720’s Portrait of a Man. The forms identity is obscured and fractured through combinations of thinly layered paint, scratched back surfaces and thick textural gestures. The image is intended to conjure impressions of the past and allude to a possible future, while questioning our relation to history and nature.
