“The Muse” is a monochromatic portrait that I have created from the imagination. The inspiration came from my art class, when I observed one of my peers drawing next to me. In creating this piece, I wanted to flip the script. Typically, the subject matter of a painting is constantly scrutinized by the viewers, as they attempt to interpret the work for themselves. However, I flipped the script on the observer, so that the “muse” is no longer the one under scrutiny: it is you. She is the one that is telling the narrative, and you are now her muse.
