Blue: Rough sea high textured painting using mask and serum ironically

So is it a paradox or irony that I used moisturising masks and serums to help create rough textures in my paintings?

Whatever it is, I rather enjoy indulging in the strangeness of it all.

Some might think to use expensive cosmetics and skin care products is a sin.

Me I’m past caring about the culture of body shaming and image anxieties. So I use my old cosmetics in my paintings. Not to make them beautiful necessarily but to help the earth shine.

What I hate to think is that the excess and waste from the cosmetic industry has the potential of ending up as land fill.

Who knows what harm this could do to the soil, or animals so it’s better we make use of them and keep them on the land surface with us while decorating our houses and homes.
