theres nothing left to hold to
Located in Sempach, LU
From "The Quince" series.A pink room that evokes melancholy. I contemplate a juicy fruit, once my favorite, but now it smells rotten. I'll never get over this. I remember his face, his words, his eyes. That day I lost a part of my personality, like a bitten fruit. I needed help and I got it. I was so tired of feeling and just wanted it to be over. Why did this take forever? Why is this still going on? I drew on paper a tattoo of three dots that were on your palm. This tattoo and eyes are the only thing I remember. I go to bed...

Figurative Paintings for Sale
Figurative art, as opposed to abstract art, retains features from the observable world in its representational depictions of subject matter. Most commonly, figurative paintings reference and explore the human body, but they can also include landscapes, architecture, plants and animals — all portrayed with realism.
While the oldest figurative art dates back tens of thousands of years to cave wall paintings, figurative works made from observation became especially prominent in the early Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance masters created naturalistic representations of their subjects.
Pablo Picasso is lauded for laying the foundation for modern figurative art in the 1920s. Although abstracted, this work held a strong connection to representing people and other subjects. Other famous figurative artists include Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Figurative art in the 20th century would span such diverse genres as Expressionism, Pop art and Surrealism.
Today, a number of figural artists — such as Sedrick Huckaby, Daisy Patton and Eileen Cooper — are making art that uses the human body as its subject.
Because figurative art represents subjects from the real world, natural colors are common in these paintings. A piece of figurative art can be an exciting starting point for setting a tone and creating a color palette in a room.
