My goal was to achieve two things in this painting: First to study and show an astounding shape, beauty, brilliance and flawless lines of the human eye structure, and second to show the inner spirit of a person, the soul, how deep the eyes can be and what they can tell us.
The iris is painted with a number of different colors. The silver textured lines on top and the bottom are faux finished to look like metal in order to create contrast to a delicate skin and outline the focal point in the paintings- the eyes.
