Inspiring Arists - Marlene Freimanis

Marlene Freimanis aka thegirlinthebigbox on DeviantArt, is a recent discovery of mine. Her style is clean, polished and does great justice to the human form. But it's also at times strange, grotesque and disturbing. Basically, I'm in love.

I also love her use of objects such as chains, jewelry and wood. It adds a lot of grit somehow, when you consider her masterful control in her drawings and paintings.

 The treatment of the white paint in some of her works (such as the one above) takes on such an interesting texture, which she draws back into. It kind of reminds me of sticky marshmallow fluff, in the best way possible.
