Malia Pettit
Your Reflection, Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Sitting on a silver stool, a woman immerses herself in mysterious and romantic thoughts. Against the dripping blue background, her warm skin tone radiates. Her eyes, intentionally obscured, add an element of intrigue to the painting. The artwork comes with a matte black wood frame measuring 2 inches deep and 0.75 of an inch thick.


About the Artist
Malia Pettit sees her artistic process as an act of “liberating the paint” and “allowing for the unexpected to occur.” Her portraits of women stem from a fascination with glossy magazines and their portrayal of models, actors and celebrities. Her work has been especially influenced by Chantal Joffe and John Singer Sargent. She currently resides in Louisiana after having lived in both California and England for several years. When she’s not painting, she is a full-time mom and enjoys exploring estate sales, antique stores and used bookstores.

    Artist Comments
    A red-haired woman in a black dress captivates with a sultry gaze, complemented by a black veiled headpiece that adds a layer of drama to her look. The title of the artwork not only references the accessory but also holds the essence of her spirit. The piece comes with a matte black wood frame measuring 1.5 inches deep and 0.75 inches thick.
