Oops!
I forgot to mention that my painting, is not supposed to be a portrait, it is a symbolic gesture of one. That is not hair on the sides it is just a nondescript background (purple being mystical). Why did I do it? For a couple of reasons, the main ones I will mention here.
First, it is because as a hermit looking out through venetian blinds from my safety into the happenings of the real world, pondering on my beliefs. Secondly, because of the feelings and experiences peoples faces hide. Each time you see a face in the crowd that attracts your attention, you ponder on their experiences and life lived.
Thirdly, we will always be divided from each other because individually each of us experiences highs and lows in life with different memories and emotions, even if we do get to share them. The hidden worlds behind the faces fasinates me.
Too deep, maybe. Oh well that is the reason I painted it like I did. This is for those of your who were wondering about the concept.
