Hidden Emotions
My Project is an acrylic painting done on canvas. My work is based on myself and my conflicting emotions of anger and sadness. I wanted it to look like the anger was hiding and the sadness was more prominent but anger can be hidden in the sadness. I was inspired by a painting I did in the past and brought some of the aspects into this project, as well as my inspiration from Edvard Munch.

Inspiration
My inspiration was Edvard Munch, I was inspired by his painting “Road in Aasgaardstrand”. I was inspired by how the girl in the painting stands out against the background. The background shows the road leading up to a village. There's lots of colors in the background yet she stands out. I used this and made myself the center of focus in my painting, working against the background and its colors. I didn't make a village though because my painting is based on my emotions.
