Beauty Is A Part Of Her
10” x 20”
Acrylic paint and clear varnish
I created this artwork to show how society forces beauty in women. Beauty is burned into girls brains at very young ages as a necessity, when in reality it’s not. As we age this standard becomes apart of who we are, creating this cycle that we will eventually pass on to the next generation. To show how it becomes part of us I made the lipstick the same color as the woman in the photo. To contrast the colors of the figure I used a dark grey on black background and to make that pop I used the varnish.
