Stina Perrsons

This is an experiment inspired by Stina Perrsons. I took a photo of my best friend, then dragged it into Photoshop, then made a new layer and painted in different shades of purple depending on how dark or light the shadows were. I then went to liquify, and gave it this runny dripping look.

This piece of art doesn't sink well with me, because of the message that I see from it, I can see that the girl may not like the boy she's with and who looks like he's going to kiss her, the colours also express sicklyness, the blue on the other hand is known for it's temperature mood, and the blue gives a chilly cold feel to it. Although in this case it may not be the temerpature meaning but the harsh 'I'm going behind your back' feel, so in fact this girl could be leading him on, for money, drugs, to be popular etc. The dripping also seems to give that sense that these two as a couple aren't going to last much longer, the image will keep on dripping until there is nothing left that we'll be able to identify as the same piece. The reason this piece doesn't sink well with me is that I dislike love fakers and users.

This piece of Stina's sinks better with me than the one above, because there's no private body parts, those are suppost to stay private, unless it's to your lover. The colour purple can represent many moods, for example:
Love, Romance, Heat, Passion, Euphoric, Sensual, Blissful, Joyful, Relaxed, Dreamer, Keen, Perception, Intrigued, Mystical, Impulsive, Mischievous/Sly, Irked, Moody.
I don't like that you can't see the details of the eyes, but then of course thats another thing that can help with identifing what mood the model or the painting is in, the mouth can also help as well.
