My Brother

22”x28.5” Acrylic Painting on Mixed Media Paper

For this painting, I created a collage of abstract objects, featuring a football, piano, guitar, and basketball. The medium used is acrylic paint on mixed media paper, and was painted loosely yet intentionally to resemble the objects that all relate to my brother, Aslan. We were asked to explore abstraction through fragmentation of objects, and with this topic, I chose to create a piece that each fragment was an enhanced perspective of the way that these four things are intertwined in my brother’s life, and then in mine because of him.
