My project focuses on the human eye and takes inspiration from the form of the eye, in an abstract art style. The exploration and representation of the human eye has fascinated many artists, due to the eye’s complex shapes and varied forms. I am interested in all elements of the eye, such as the lines of the iris, the range of colours, shades and tones, and the red veins in the sclera. My work is primarily done in acrylic paint, and I use a hair dryer to move and split the paint all over the surface. The high gloss varnish used in my paintings is intended to resemble the shine of the eye. My approach to representing the features of the human eye is expressive rather than anatomically realistic.
