The Choice

'The Choice' - Acrylic on canvas with handmade wood and plaster frame

Inspired by the controversial debate of 'man vs bear' that circled the internet last summer (2024) along with Paris Paloma's song 'Last Woman on Earth', both of which act as commentary on the current misogyny running rampant through modern-day society.

This work follows the techniques of the old masters and intrigues the viewer with hidden details that encapsulate the female experience. From the vibrators on the chair to the naked vulnerability of the central figure, her face turned away so that any woman may project themselves upon her, the painting holds intimacy and danger in every corner you look.
