This digital artwork was created using an original sketch and then mirroring the image and adding color and the background digitally. I liked the notion of the piece representing the inner self or the I which we all feel and experience, versus the external persona which we project into the world. Theoretically This would also work as a tiled piece, because we all have multiple personas (at work, at play, as parent, as partner etc.) But I thought as an image, it is more impactful mirrored just once. I also liked the fact that he origins of the piece were a pencil sketch and a more traditional form of art, subsequently combined with digital methods. This also, to my mind, brings in the concept of age and how we grow and change, as people, during our lives, adding another dimension to the persona theme.
