Abstract
-
In this work, I worked with the idea of ugliness, in order to create an artwork. I tried to show how time affects what we consider beautiful which in our case is youth and beauty. In my painting I created a barbie figure to symbolize beauty, which is being devoured from a monstrous-looking male. This ugly male figure is a reference to Goya’s painting “Saturn devouring his son” where Saturn, one of the Titans eats his son alive so that he won’t be able to take his place. Here instead of Saturn, we have Chronos, who eats the beauty out of a young woman who also happens to be a universal symbol of femininity.
