Through research and exploration of the female body, not only within art but history itself, a unity of different female representations and forms is presented within this composition. I took inspiration from traditional to modern art history as well as influence from other aspects such as textiles and sport to combine and contrast the forms within the painting. Using a collage method, the painting was created in pieces to showcase the female body through different ideals. Though the apparent contrasts, I wanted to integrate the elements within the painting to flow to represent the shifts of female representation throughout history and the different interpretations of the empowerment of the female body. I allowed for patterns to flow within the composition to unite the piece together. This painting portrays the female body through traditional and modern representations and suggests a unifying objective of women empowerment through history.
