Dinora Justice, MFA '14 Portrait 10, after Titian's Venus of Urbino

46h x 52w x 1.5d

DESCRIPTION: Paintings, Unframed, Oil and Acrylic on canvas

ARTIST STATEMENT: My paintings combine the traditional technique of hand-marbling with acrylic paint directly on the canvas surface with direct painting with oils. The process is very laborious and time-consuming, but the results are stunning. The intricate patterns of marbling would b nearly impossible to create by other methods, and I am very interested in combining old techniques with different approaches, bringing them to the present.
