Life of Dolls
Figurative Art - Oil Paintings
I am inspired by children illustration, kawaii culture and Blythe collection dolls. I paint doll figures to represent feminine beauty. My dolls are cute, classy, always look perfect and never age. Dolls influence me more than I influence them; they help me express myself and bring forward all facets of my personality. I subconsciously try to achieve gesamtkunstwerk, 'a total work of art' between myself and them.
To me, dolls are not plastic toys, they are real and alive, they are like kids; innocent and fascinated with absolutely everything in this world. They never lose their curiosity. My aim is to evoke curiosity, an open heart and a deep appreciation for the delicate, feminine beauty. My paintings give me a heartwarming feeling every time I paint, this is the feeling I want to project through.
