Beauty in Destruction

The trio of oil portraits depicts a beautiful woman's face, but they have been intentionally smeared and covered in paint with a palette knife to create a sense of movement and destruction in the artwork. The use of bold, chaotic strokes of paint creates visual tension as if the subject's image is being violently disrupted. Despite the destruction of the original image, there is beauty in the way the contrasting colours and forms blend together, creating an abstract and dynamic piece of art.
