Artist Statement
What if? Painting is part of the series called Emotions whose content and theme uncovers the transition of acceptance homosexuality. The piece is a self-portrait that reflects the conflicts of my sexual orientation and the fear of unwrapping my sexuality into society
The subject in the content is trying to convey her feelings of desperation, doubt, and anguish by translating them with body language and face expressions. For instance, she is looking up as if she is questioning God about her sexuality. She is positioned in the middle of the canvas to represent she feels alone. And, the “X” she makes with her hands and legs suggest that she does not want to expose her sexuality yet.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
