"This piece is part of a continuing series that I’m doing where certain themes are painted on the character herself. Every girl has different symbols and designs on her body but no surroundings. She is naked in an empty space telling her story through the images represented on her skin. She’s the canvas in the canvas.
Most of the time my work is about things I love and am inspired by. This piece is an homage to stage performance using the classic symbolism found in baroque designs on that theme. For example, Marie Antoinette had theatrical motifs in Versailles.
I drew the character on the board in detail, using references from antique art collections and books that I have. My favorite is the Wallace Collection in London. Then I seal the drawing with a thin layer of gesso and paint a thin layer of blue under paint with watercolor." - Kukula
