When the committee prize was placed kindly inwards my hands I began thinking of a agency to challenge people's ‘first impression’ every bit it tin then oft live highly superficial in addition to thence real wrong. I painted Olivia inwards the mode of a self-portrait to encourage the viewer to see life through her eyes. The prototype is a mirror reflection of Olivia inwards her chamber wearing her favourite T-Shirt alongside the slogan "Love is the exclusively solution, Love is the exclusively way."His prize was presented to him past times BBC News fine art Editor Will Gompertz who opened the exhibition in addition to Alastair Adams, the President of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters
Our reflection inwards a mirror is most familiar to us soundless every bit everything has been reversed it is the opposite persuasion to a photographic television camera in addition to that of everyone nosotros come across including our friends in addition to family. This raises the question, what is to a greater extent than important, how nosotros persuasion our self or how nosotros appear to others?
