Introspections

Think Deeper

Inspired by the artwork of Henri Matisse, Margaret Kilgallen, and Henri Rousseau, artist HelloMarine says of this illustration, “It all started with me wanting to do a piece to celebrate the female form and women in general. I did a few versions of this nude and then kept this one, the one I was most happy with. At first, she was just floating there, but I felt like I needed to give it a frame, so I created that box, which created some perspective, so she could sit rather than just float. Some people see it as her breaking out of a box, which is fine with me. But to me, the position of her body suggests a kind of peace.”
