ILIA Beauty’s Post

In my artwork, I explore the idea that the nude human body embodies the purest form of nature, yet societal judgments often cloud this perception. I use face masks as symbols, representing layers that conceal inner emotions and true selves due to social expectations, stereotypes, and judgments. The masks serve as barriers, hiding the inherent beauty within individuals. While a semi-nude male body is generally accepted, society often imposes restrictions on the acceptability of a semi-nude or nude female body, subjecting women to judgment. In my painting, a female nude figure rises above the masks, portraying a transparency that challenges societal norms. This composition aims to convey the philosophy that everyone possesses beauty from within, even if these thoughts may not resonate with everyone. Size : 3 by 3 feet Medium : oil on canvas

One of the reasons painting faces can be difficult….our brain gets in the way! The Thatcher Effect. This illusion highlights a flaw in how our brains work - we can't process an upside-down face because we are programmed to recognise faces the right way up. We create a mental map by recognising the face in pieces - eyes, mouth, and nose. So when we're presented with an upside-down, Thatcherised image, it's not processed properly. We know it's upside down, but because we so rarely encounter upside-down faces, we haven't evolved to interpret the expressions on them. The facial features look fine, so our brains assume the rest of the face is as well. That's why we don't see anything out of the ordinary until we turn the face the ‘right way’ up.

Something's wrong in this painting ryt ? Well that's what perception is, perception depends on the thinking capability of a person that can be biased. Which can affect the working environment, so we should know the whole story rather than just what we perceive. In the painting below, if you watch it carefully there are two feelings expressed by this person • Shock and • Sorrow Hide one side and you'll catch it. #painting #perception #businessrelation

Today marks the 15 year anniversary of the official birth of Acrylic Alchemy. On this day 15 years ago, I experienced the assault and battery that changed my trajectory in life. The tattoo on my inner arm, my signature icon, is what I saw flashing through my head after that concussion. When life beats you down, you can lay there and die, or you can choose to fight back until your last breath. You can read more about this story on my blog. #acrylicalchemy

Today is National Lipstick 💄 Day The first people to wear lipstick were likely Ancient Sumerians. Crushed gemstones decorated not only their lips, but eyes and face as well. Lipsticks in some form also caught on in ancient China with beeswax, and in Ancient Greece, where courtesans wore berry-derived dyes on their lips. The popularity only grew in 16th-century England, where a bright white face and hyper-crimson lips were worn widely to steal Queen Elizabeth’s look. It was used only for courtesans and actors and considered uncouth to be worn by the general public. By the 19th century, the first commercial lipstick made of deer tallow, castor oil, and beeswax had been made in France — and lipstick absolutely took off. The US quickly caught on, applying lipstick with a brush rather than a tube. In WW2, lipstick was scarce, and started to be packaged in plastic and paper tubes. The first long-lasting, no-smear lipstick was also invented during this time! The number of shades of lipstick have exploded since the early 20th century, when colors were limited. Each decade brought its own new style and popularized new shades. In the 1970s, fun colors like sparkling navy blue and frosted lime green were even introduced!
