Original artwork description:

I love using the aesthetics and images of antique sculptures. For the creation of this painting, I took inspiration from Verrocchio ''Dama col Mazzolino'' (1475)
My paintings aim to rethink the classical through the lens of the modern (and vice versa). What is it about ancient art that still provokes the contemporary imagination? How might contemporary visual culture help us to see classical traditions with new eyes? And what can modern-day responses – set against the backdrop of others over the last two millennia – tell us about our cultural preoccupations, in the here and now?
