Mistresspieces

Most women in artworks throughout the history of humankind have been depicted in many styles.From the realistic to the fantastic, male artists have always enjoyed celebrating the sensual lines and curves of the female form in their art. The muses themselves have become iconic, and in some cases even more so than their creators. In this series I am shedding light on these female subjects, who have either been glorified or subjected to false representations. I inject social commentary, continuing this methodology throughout my tableaux series.
