This piece has an interesting story behind it. I was promised a job from a woman who claimed to be a lawyer for Halliburton. She had purchased a painting from me and from there promised a job with great pay and amazing benefits. After a month of putting up with excuse after excuse of why the job was not falling through, I decided to tell her to fuck off and that I would rather suffer something terrible than to work with her.
Once the “professional business relationship” had ended she asked that I do a piece for her symbolizing her broken heart over the divorce she was going through. She wanted it to be painful and promised a much needed $350 for the piece. I saw that she was in grief and wanted a painting that symbolized the pain she felt… little did I know the picture captured her personality.
As I was almost finished, I texted her to inform her that her painting was almost complete to which she replied “leave me alone”. Confused and rightfully pissed, I inquired as to why she would ask me to do a painting and then flake out on the purchase like dandruff on a dry scalp. The only reply I got was, once again, “leave me alone”.
I hadn’t painted the faces until after the realization she was really NOT going to hold up to her end of the deal.
The thick spiral lines are like the lies that came in waves leading down a path to no better end. The broken heart showing the feeling of being promised great things only to be lied to and let down. The faces find it amusing to see such negativity.
