@ladylillith2023 16x20 oils on aluminum, framed in custom frame-is my modern remix of Dante Rossetti’s Lady Lilith. My Lady Lillith has traded in her nightie for some sweats and a skater tee, her mirror for social media, and some of her symbolic flowers from the original have become tats... but does she cast a reflection in the mirror..? Well she never has before. Dante was a master painter, and his work often told a story from myth and legend. I grew up looking at his work, and it was really fun to paint a reimagined version of this famous lady.
Huge thanks to my sister in law for ducking out of a family event to take these reference photos. Also a shoutout to my other sister in law who’s dresser so eerily mirrored the original Lilith’s dresser. I love it when things line up like that and I was able to add my own symbolism through these ordinary objects. Couldn’t have realized this without you ladies.
