Artist Statement
Aileen, pronounced (Ah-leen), is an Irish name that means “bright-shining light”. Her glistening skin is half warm-toned and half cool-toned to show the variation of light and the dewiness of wet skin. This piece is special to me because there was so much detail that was put in to make it look as real as possible and I personally love the bright, vibrant colors. The piece reminds me of a flame. Relaxing and peaceful yet, it’s vivid and hot. That is what I’m trying to make the viewers feel is the warmth and serenity that one would feel from light or a fire after being cold.
