Roxanne

This captivating mixed media painting features a stylized figure outlined in vibrant pink against a textured, chaotic background filled with rich earthy tones and layers of chaotic brushstrokes. The silhouette of the figure suggests introspection and vulnerability, while the colorful background conveys a sense of emotional turmoil and creative energy. Intricate, handwritten text weaves throughout the composition, enhancing its narrative quality, invoking feelings of longing and personal reflection. The contrasting elements of softness in the figure and the ruggedness of the background create a striking visual tension that draws the viewer in.
This painting would be an excellent addition to a contemporary living room or a creative workspace, where it can inspire creativity and conversation. Its emotional depth makes it suitable for personal spaces such as bedrooms or reading nooks, providing a calming yet thought-provoking atmosphere.

This mixed media painting is inspired by the song 'Roxanne', written by Sting from The Police. George Michael gave 'Roxanne' a new jazzy sound. Since her teenage years, the artist always listens to George Michael while working. The tablecloth she uses to put her paint on while working, appeared to become an amazing painting itself. So Eekhout used it to make an artwork in a more experimental style in the series of nudes she was working on. The result is this beautiful artwork with an urban, street art style. The song text is handwritten with gold colored leaf metal in the background. The artwork has many different colors. The main colors are green, red, pink and gold, but there are also yellow, gray and blue tones. The artwork does not need a frame and is ready to hang.
