About the Painting:
In this piece, I wanted to portray the incompatibility of
love,
power and politics. My initial idea was to paint
Romeo and Juliet on two separate
canvases - trying to
touch, but not quite being able to.
The piece evolved on its own. I got the idea to separate
the
two canvases with something to emphasize the barrier
factor. This morphed into
a whole mixed-media frame that
portrayed the love message I wanted to achieve.
This then
morphed into a frenzy of hand carved and painted accents
(the hearts and dagger). I found the quote that mixed the
love
and violence elements (which I loved!). As a finishing
touch, I painted the skull/cross
bones on an old, empty
perfume bottle to symbolize the poison.
