Beautiful!!! I’d love to see this in person.
its absolutely beautiful, so clever , how you handled background, plants and her composure, very ethereal, yet down to earth!!!!!!!Bravo!!!!
This picture makes me so happy ..........
Great composition! Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your process. It's a beautiful painting and the end of a fascinating journey. Lovely!
I love how Nikoleta describes the process of Beatrice coming through. I remember Graham Greene talking about writing... and how, in his novels, he thought he knew what was going to happen but then a minor character would take over ... and some major character would fade into the background, or disappear. One wonders "Who is in charge?"
As an artist myself, I always feel as if I am the mid-wife to this birth taking place. I never know what is going to come about. I am on this journey of discovery, which is so exciting, because I am simply delivering the goods ... or, the Spirit that has decided to bless me with an appearance. Not surprisingly, there is little cohesion in what I produce!
This is so beautiful
Gorgeous! ❤

I'm not a fine artist but I've had a similar encounter with Beatrice over past 3 years, there's something about her that wants to be portrayed alive not as a dead angel in heaven as she's traditionally seen. Anyways a beautiful painting I love how she turned out.
Please do tell us more.
may could be used for a vogue cover
You forgot to mention purgatory....
this is a terrible painting for its subject matter. she has made this same painting dozens of times before. she didnt paint beatrice, she painted her usual stuff and wrapped the theme around it later
Blatant yet poorly executed ripoff of Kehinde Wileys concept.
I can see the similarity (large figure with bold decorative botanicals completely filling the negative space) however I don’t think thats enough to call it a rip off. Kehinde Wiley has much more realistically rendered figures, less visible brushstrokes- their painting styles are very different.
Completely different style. Who I ripped off who? That is the question always. No way to know and it doesn’t matter as long as it is not a direct rip off and if one makes the subject their own and in their own way.
Completely different style of painting.
I wouldn't call it a ripoff, as Wiley is hardly the first painter to envelop his portrait subject with botanical detail. But it does unfortunately share with Wiley graceless use of photo for the portrait subject.
