The painting “body image II” is the second work in a three-part series, created in a square format using acrylic on canvas. In this series, I explore the body and how it is perceived, shaped by the idealised images that bombard us daily. The square format is intended, not least, to evoke the idealised bodies of the Instagram world. The paintings thus offer a glimpse behind the scenes of the viewers who consume these distorted images. The result is a distorted self-perception. Over the course of the series, the ‘non-ideal’ body thus transforms into a sort of ulcer that is ultimately to be cast off.
Info :
The canvas is stretched onto a high-quality wooden stretcher frame and is dispatched with it; the signature is on the reverse.

During my studies, I have created many works which I would like to share with the public here. I am 26 years old and work across different media, though most frequently in photography, painting and sculpture. My work explores themes relating to physicality and the extent to which it can be seen as a mirror of inner feelings and sociological processes
