I met this person at a party last night who said she was an artist. I asked what kind. When she showed me her Instagram, I fell on the goddamn floor. Here's her take on "Las Meninas." More from this genius @galeriamimiom on Instagram.

this is my current fav artist and my fav painting from her because there's so much to think about with her work.
Some brief thoughts about the artist in general: Towers explores strong tones of femininity and womanhood that are woven with an interesting juxtaposition between various imagery of pleasure and pain. With a surrealistically comforting viewing experience, due to the visually appealing compositions and cohesive color story throughout her body work, the intimacy created between viewer and painting cannot be denied.

I ♡ this painting so much!
She's so pretty! And the rendering is so masterful and fun!
Of Note:
❖ Modeled after the infamous La Maja Vestida by Francisco de Goya
❖ An inscription in the lower right dedicates the painting “To my friend Nadar.” which refers to the photographer, caricaturist, and novelist Félix Nadar

I was taken by this piece at Franck Elbaz at the opening of "Host" last night. I began a piece a couple nights ago, on a large swath of unprimed canvas that I taped to my wall. After sketching on it, out of classic Zahra impatience, I began on it in passionate oil pastel sticks and then reprimanded myself for not waiting to gesso it. But then I would miss the skin-feel of the fabric... After seeing this painting below, I decided to let the laws go to shit and just make a grand fucking mess, and let it do the one thing it should do: sing to me.
