The presentation that I enjoyed this week was from Itzcally Hernandez. Her artist Monica Martinez caught my attention when I saw the three painting's that she had created. Looking at the anatomy of the painting made me wonder why the artist would consider this art. I figured it was because she uses sea shells and other things to bring out more substance to the painting. I realized that that artist is seeing these figures in third dimension. Another thing I found interesting was the way in which the artist talks to her subjects, even if they are insects, she asked them if they would like to be painted. This is interesting because it tells me she really wants to capture everything about her subjects. The anatomy of the moth that she painted looks amazing and is very detailed. The second painting of the human anatomy is also amazing. She really pays attention to detail in all her works. The background has an ancient look that connects the moth to its origins before becoming an adult. Almost to what the Egyptians did when they used Hieroglyphs in their writings. That is what the background reminded me of. Going on her web page I noticed that she is well educated and has even been commissioned to paint prints for Notre Dame. I really enjoyed this artist and her painting.
