Melete
Part of a twelve-piece series of female portraits integrating digital and traditional media, this illustration seeks to capture the Greek muse Melete, the personification of thought and meditation. I referenced a photograph I took of my friend and transformed the cloudless sky into a nebulous patchwork of blue, the color of the mind, to evoke the transient and formless nature of our thoughts. With a contemplative expression, a halo of light, and emanating brain waves, she seems to be on the verge of epiphany.
The series itself is an exploration of the diversity of my female friends and how women embody creativity in different ways. Each piece was synthesized from my classical studies and indicates how the subject is my inspirational “muse.”
