Spoiler Alert- I am a complete amateur!
This ‘artwork’ was inspired by a fashion shoot/campaign for Mango, featuring Penelope Cruz on the front cover of the glossy catalogue. Over two years ago I was shopping in Beirut when I picked up the catalogue and kept it since (the photographs and fashion inside it are beautiful). I painted this on a canvas with acrylic paint by mixing colours and using a faint pencil outline before putting brush to board. Taking almost one hour to complete, the painting was a fun creative outlet during a relaxing afternoon spent with my closest friend by the poolside.
