Original Piece: Oil on Canvas, 2020
From the book Unveiled. In the Bible, Bathsheba was gazed upon by King David, who then sent her husband to war (and his death), so he could marry her. In this painting, I wanted to capture her beauty and the moment David fell for her. For me, it reminds me of King David’s brokenness in his actions, as well as that beauty is not something anyone is just entitled to. I feel the painting also speaks of her innocence, and that expressing beauty is a good thing.
