Power of the Feminine
This is an #ArtistAppreciationPost on Brian Viveros. I can't eloquently express why I'm drawn to his art but here is a direct quote taken from his personal website.
His highly detailed paintings of defiant doe-eyed beauties summon a raw poetic of intractability. Beautiful and yet barbarous, they draw from the power of the feminine and its reconciliation of vulnerability, beauty, and power. His subjects are fighters and survivors, rendered immaculately, and just bloodied enough to remind us that they are formidable opponents not to be taken lightly.
Viveros' work is so kickass that if I were to post all the ones I liked, this would be an extremely long post. Do yourselves a favour and google Brian Viveros pronto! Or check out his Instagram here.
To further my obsession with Viveros, I did some digging and came across these sketches supposedly by Brian himself. Enjoy!
