The theme of this painting was to combine Modernism with Antiquity. I have been a long-time fan of Jackson Pollock and chose his style of painting of drips and splashes as my modern art portion of the theme. I thought a portion of Michelangelo’s, Creation of Adam, would be a good juxtaposition with this, but in a more loosely-created manner. I wanted to stray away from my normal tendencies of hyper focusing on detail and take a more relaxed approach.

Image Description : A background made of cardboard is painted with interlacing black circles creating a net-like pattern. A dresser made of light wood sits in front painted with the same pattern. A white agender person sits hunched over the dresser on the lefthand side of the image. They are wearing a shapeless canvas coat painted with the same pattern. Their face is painted with white interconnected circles with black lines under their eyes. They have a shaved head which is painted with the black circular pattern. Their hand rests atop the dresser where their wrist and fingers and painted with black and white bands.
