She is the personification of creative ability, the URGE to create rather than creation itself. I had a hell of a time trying to figure out what I would name this one, I didn’t want to use the original name Allegory of Inclination…so I offer the viewer the FEELING that hits when I’m on a creative roll…it’s like being on cloud nine. Here is the original:<\/p>\n\n\n

This is a painting by the great Artemisia Gentileschi, who holds unique status in the Renaissance (not an era where being a female creative would have been easy). She was a renowned talent, and was commissioned to paint something in honour of another master, Michelangelo (speaking of<\/a>). To make matters more interesting, Artemisia painted the model in the nude…and years later another artist covered her body because…well…prudishness. Anyway, in 2023, a mere year prior to me starting a classical painting series a secret was revealed…the original artwork was uncovered using the most contemporary high-tech imaging tools. Pretty cool huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose vibrant fantastical colours for my version because I wanted to bring these works into MY world, which is a tornado of bright colours and iridescence. My friend Gal suggested the teal, as all I had was the neon pink sky. Fantastic idea wasn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within a few minutes of me sharing an instagram post of my finished painting, a sweet friend reached out enquiring if she could buy her. I love that someone instantly connected. An artist’s dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
