This portrait of Miles Davis was inspired by a photo taken by Anton Corbijn of the jazz musician in a hotel room. This piece was a commission from a friend and I really struggled with the piece for months. I’d stop looking at it for a week, come back to it, make changes – I must have started over or made significant changes of direction at least 8 times.

This piece addresses the idea of the misrepresentation of beauty in advertising and other media. The image presented to us on a daily basis is not a true reflection of reality – just ask the person responsible for airbrushing the images you are striving to emulate.
