With my senior piece I knew I wanted again to incorporate my love for graphic art and design very similar to my previous pieces. To achieve the graphic, as well as painterly style I wanted to achieve I used a mix of acrylic paint, posca markers and linocut stamps. When I first began the piece I wanted to do an abstracted, graphic style self portrait, depicting several full body images of myself. However as I continued to work on it I instead painted figures and/or faces stemming from my subconscious, rather than using any particular references or subjects. I feel as though the painting is still in a sense an abstracted self portrait, as I tried to incorporate all of the things that I love to use in terms of visual art. My inspirations, same with my previous pieces, stem from certain graphic designers and album art, as well as surreal and expressionist painters.
