"Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic" - The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde. This book by Oscar Wilde mesmerised me when I was younger. It spoke to me on many levels, but what I particularly loved was how - in a strikingly modern way - it portrayed a nuanced and layered queer character. Dorian wants what everyone else wants, he dreams and yearns like the rest of us. With this painting I wanted to capture a scene that is both exquisite yet dubious. Is there a touch of melancholy behind his languidness?

 

An abstract figurative portrait painting.
