“The Colour of Your Soul” is inspired by the song “Oblivion” by Grimes and is featured around the lyrics “ I need someone else , to look into my eyes and tell me girl you better watch your health” I used the medium acrylic in my painting because I wanted the soul to be solid and emotions to feel more vivid and the reason I used black canvas is because it’s my interpretation of what oblivion truly feels and looks like. In the painting I am looking into my own eyes, because I want to save myself, from myself. It portrays having a fear of losing myself , and the irony of piece being name “ The Colour of Your Soul” though being a self-portrait, is due to me wanting people to see themselves through the cracks of my imperfections- because every soul is a mirror that you can see yourself in and the cracks only help guide the way.
