Artwork Description

Sewer Girl

55.0 x 69.0 cm

I made this painting based on a picture I took of my daughter, whilst standing in a sewer pipe in the middle of the desert in Andalucia. The light fell in from the hole above at the moment she was doing a silly dance. That's why the position of her body is somehow strange. I especially liked the image of this teenage girl, for whom cleanliness is of utmost importance, performing a silly dance inside a sewage pipe.
