I created this piece with oil paints on a canvas. At first, I was very intimidated by this painting because I have never painted a face before and let alone with oils. In the process it was very difficult to keep going and painting because I kept thinking it didn't look like me. Then I looked at my paining and my face in the mirror together and that's when I think this painting really turned around for the better. My favorite part of this painting is the contrast of black and white and the color tribal type print on my face. This really shows my personality through art, the black and white may look serious but the color just shows how my personality always shows on my face. This piece is really where I found myself as an artist and I am so so happy with the out come because it looks like me and it shows personality which is what I strive to do through art.
