My Favorite Artworks
I have mentioned below 3 of my favorite artworks from this artist's collection. And, I have also taken the liberty of elaborating on what it is about these artworks that piques my interest and keeps me coming back for more.
"Come in"
I really like how the artist has made use of the handles and knobs on the door flawlessly in her composition. It is blending very well the 2 painted ladies.
"Stare Case"
This is one of my favorite pieces. It's amazing how the artist has converted a fully inanimate object like a staircase into such an evident face with just a few brush strokes.
"She is not disposable"
This artwork is very unique since here instead of using an architectural element, the artist has used a very mundane object like a plastic bag and turned it into a woman's silhouette.
Other Artworks
Apart from my top 3 favorite artworks, I have put some other artworks that I highly admire. I really like how this artist imagines different human abstractions in her surroundings.
