Artist's Comments

"I lost myself in the shadows,
I'm lost again in the dark,
I didn't notice it at least,
I didn't avoid it at last.

I can't see between the darkness
that surround me when I walk.
I don't know if that's my face
or the one I want to display.

How many times others said me
how I must talk or must act.
So many times they said me
when to love, to laugh or to cry.

And I do not know, I'm not sure,
if that's my reflection or not.
Today my mask is so strong
that I can't remove it from me."

This is so amazing. I love the way her slippers reflect off the floor, and the whole picture is laid out beautifully. I LOVE her hands! The girl in the mirror is also a really great touch.

Lovely piece. The tones and detail are mind blowing. As well as the subtle image in the mirror. The color combinations work together very well to, gives it a realistic aspect.

Its such a beautiful picture, with a bit horror. I love it, the little cat just brings the whole piece together. :D

Amazing work, I think her right leg needs a little work, looks too fat and too far forward (the leg closest to the window). Other than that really interesting work, I like the colours and the horror atmosphere to the piece.

Great work!
