Surreal Illustration From a Talented Student

This painting by Christien Vargas an 11th grader grabbed me by eyes with psychedelic imagery and colors. The piece seems to be painted with watercolor and ink; this is evident from the type of paper and the outlines around the objects within the painting.

The piece for me is tough to understand, though it seems to have to do with males and females because of the male and female chickens to the right. Also the painting seems to have religious themes with the hand holding the rosary to the left. The artist could improve on is the handling of the paper, when viewing the painting there are noticeable wrinkles on the edges. This is a wonderful piece and the one thing I would’ve changed if I were the artist would be to have it framed.
