Artist Statement

"Between Art & Quarantine”, is a global phenomenon that invited artists to recreate iconic artworks, using props that they had at home. In this project, we had to choose a famous historical portrait painting using personal creativity and fun to recreate and incorporate it into the present-day context and use objects from home as props. After that, and from the staged photo, we had to execute a painting that can be a combination of painting, mixed media, and collage. I chose Picasso's painting "The Guitarist" from his Blue Period and challenged myself to use mixed media to give a three-dimensional effect, and to have some fun while staying at home in quarantine in this pandemic period. I used cardboard, fishing string, CDs, newspapers, and glass in addition to paint. This project enriches my portfolio of work as it adds a creative and fun piece.
