Serialist Painting
A Girl Before a Mirror is a Pablo Picasso masterpiece that was painted in 1932 and is a portrait of his mistress and Muse MArie-Therese Walter. The original artwork depicts the muse standing in front of a mirror gazing at her reflection.
Compositionally this painting is rather tight and embryonic. The sectional and repetitive tiled wallpaper background gives this pating and the style that it's rendered in a rather decorative element.
This sectional areas are perfect for my Serialist method and allow me to build up totemic and visual narratives within the structure of the painting itself

My Background
Toronto area, full time, Serialist Painter and OCAD graduate who’s been a full time working artists since 2017. Focusing my artistic adventures on the Serialist medium I created during my thesis year of university. Combining my love of research and complex Serialist Pinting method into large hand made original artwork.
My Medium
My Serialist medium allows me to combine all my interests into one process. Serialist Painting is History, research, humour, storytelling and artistic attention to detail. Constructing a primary image entirely out of cut & pasted secondary images produces a visually complex visual narrative through these images contextually juxtaposed meaning.
Example: A serialist Donald Trump portrait constructed out of images of Pinocchio. Becomes: Chump Guevara, aka: The Liar in Chief.
