Si’s Girl

Si’s Girl, 2007

Acrylic on canvas

91×152 cm

In 2007, just out of the blue, I decided to paint a picture using dark, dark colors. I can safely say that this is the darkest painting I’ve ever done. It was painted at a time when I felt my happiest in a long while. I usually hide behind bright colors, but I felt safe enough to leave this woman enshrouded in the dark. I only ever did three more ‘dark’ paintings, one of which is The Note.
