Original artwork description:

A large oil painting ready to hang in a room that needs a new object of contemplation.

This painting is part of the Fear Project series
+ This project commenced as a means of getting to know me better, to discover my inner struggles. I knew I could never do this on my own so I initiated a dialogue on the subject of fear with my sitters. I wanted to create images that comprise both the facial features of people and their experiences of fear in order to find my own.
+ Some people have cried, some were nervous; some were put in the situation to contemplate their fears for the first time. Each person presented me with a distinct story and we went, together, through a cathartic experience.
+ I believe that fear is crucial for our day-to-day survival and even though my portraits seem a bit sad or nostalgic, they stand for my perception of powerful people who know how to handle their insecurities and can be seen as role-models.

The sides are not painted, but if wished a frame can be added.
It will be securely packed with layers of bubble wrap and cardboard for safe delivery.

The work is varnished.

Do not hesitate to drop me a line for more details :)

Thank you,
Alexandra
