Title: On Having An Outside


"Painting women has always fascinated me because they are the highest, purest level of emotion. My canvases have become a spiritual playground and my current goal is to focus on investigating the deepest inner levels of our beings and channelling them through all of these women, animals, objects and entities that are juxtaposed, creating immersive stories for the observer and therefore challenging them to a deeper introspection."
– Simona Constantin, painter.

Constantin hints to information about the subject which reflects their inner personality. This self-portrait portrays my enjoyment of being surrounded by nature and feeling calmed by it all… nature is part of me, it influences the clothes I wear, my free time and what I find beautiful.

More ideas come from this piece of work to develop this further including  portraying the different seasons, painting in a more impressionistic way leaning towards abstraction to make ethereal paintings.
