Medium

Description
I "found" her in Berlin, a young Muslim girl on the verge of becoming a woman in a violent world. This is from a series of paintings of girls and young women the “Girl, Woman, Girl” series. This is primarily a guerrilla series garnered from digital shots of interesting women from around the world. In many cases (not all) the subjects are unaware they are being observed. I will inform them after the fact (if possible).

You captured your subject mid-air so to speak--her arm and the scarf almost seem to be moving. The sobering message of the spatters contrasts with the friendly face and smile and socks a punch to the viewer. A powerful, excellent portrait, Kevin. Liz Bogard

I supposed that you took a picture of her, she looks so unaware of her surroundings and it's so obvious, great painting! This girl will need so much love . . .

Where have I been all this time? This is fabulous. So many comments already, but I haven't seen one on what struck me first: the beautiful texture of the garment. And it fills at least three-quarters of the painting. And, as the other comments mention in detail, it is breath-taking, even without the caption, even without the caption -- at least it was, IS, for me!
Mats Eriksson
great paintings all of them, but this is my favorite... love the face expression and the colors used, great work! Best, Mats

really captures her spirit and all the global political stuff going on adds emphasises to her youthful innocence. A risky composition that adds dynamic tension and works for me because she is looking back into the picture and the apparently blood spattered wall which contrasts with effortless appearing rendering of her person and drives the contrast the contrast home between her particular individual humanity and the horror of rag head terror. Powerful piece.
