__ Artist Statement __ This painting chose me because it stood out from the rest. It has considerably more emotion than most others. The facinating non-human figures caught my eye and the dramatic lighting intrigued me to take interest. I had no major issues recreating it, though the process was time consuming and required attention to detail and careful focus. Every so often I would wash the remaining pastels off of my fingers so the colors would not mix. The vast majority of this was done in less then three days. I am happy with the final product although there are some noticeable differences, I like my recreation’s variances. I added shading to the pieces of the wall that are being peeled off and reduced the orange tint the original piece had. This is an atrocious photograph, the lighting revives and amplifies the orange tint I made a point to diminish. It fades the other colors as well.
