This is a piece done by contemporary artist, Femke Heimstra. Femke tends to use delicate layers of acrylic paint mixed with colored pencils. The use of the two creates a tight look while still keeping a loose feel to the painting. He usually will stick along the lines of keeping his work as dark surreal paintings. I enjoy this piece of work because it displays a variety of emotion, and it really makes you think about the meaning behind the painting.
