Figurative art watercolor

The world is so full of history and mystery, and sometimes the two intertwine in such a way as to be almost beyond belief.A series of watercolor paintings from the 1940s recently resurfaced in Brooklyn, New York, and they are thought to depict shrunken heads.What are shrunken heads? Well, they were made by certain tribes of Maori people in New Zealand, who would preserve the heads of their enemies.

Figurative artist Leah Kelly works with oils, acrylics and charcoal to merge portraiture and surrealism. An unusual combination of faces and bodies in a representational art style is used to express emotions and experiences common within the female experiences. Women’s suffering, power, and emotions are expressed- translated through original ideas and compositions, or retellings of iconic imagery.
