I wanted to try and create an image that would carry similar emotions as 19th century painters, Symbolism and the mysterious and elegant eeriness of some of Jean Cocteau's black and white movies like Beauty and The Beast or Orpheus, while delivering it with a more fresh and contemporary approach.
The painting won the contest.
It was also selected among the finalists in the Art Renewal Center 2018 painting Salon, and is now in their yearly published catalog.
