I began working on this illustration last year after being inspired by this image I came across of super models, Nykhor Paul&Adonis Bosso... Needless to say, the phrase ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ definitely applied. It was one image, but evoked a multitude of meanings to me. I found the photo so profound, beautiful & poetic that it was beyond words to interpret… So I did the next best thing & put pen to papercintiq.
I’ve learnt it’s best an artist not always give his/ her own personal meaning behind their work, as in most cases it may actually deter the viewer from what they themselves saw; robing them of their own unique experience of the ‘art’ itself.
