Dimension :56x56 "

Media: Mixed Media with acrylic paint 

Title:The Story Behind the Rec Cape

 

Artist Statement: I got inspired from Red riding hood when i looked at different meanings of the story. Some meaning made Red riding hood seem as a brave young girl, other made her seem young and innocent and the most suprising meaning of Red riding hood I found was sexual abuse . The unexpected twist. My  concept protarys the girl in the red cape as an angery person , she is dealing with the werewolfs of her past, she wants to move on with her life but she can'. She has trust issues and hates everyone .People stay away from her and she stays away from them.She is in her own world. The children drawings are the good memories of the girl, those are the places she wants to be in or live again .

I I am choosing this painting because it helped me  explore my hidden talents. I have never worked on a large scale , never filled up a painting with lots of images and never worked with the theme of unexpected. The colours choices , pattern and design create an overwhelmimg feeling.
