"Clone" by Grace Maldonado

Clone

Grace Maldonado, SUNY Buffalo State University



Artist Statement: Clone, a creation of an identical copy of a human. This piece as a whole describes the process of looking at oneself in a whole physical form. Seeing yourself from the outside and not recognizing who that person is. Thinking to yourself, “is that really me? Is this who I am?” I wanted to depict feelings of wonder and confusion, those times where you wonder if the person you see in the mirror is who you really are or just some figment of your own imagination, questioning: “How authentic is this person that I see right in front of me?” To create this piece of artwork, my goal was to make the model look almost like someone you’d see in a dream by using eyeshadows such as green and blue and red lipstick to make the model pop with color. I then transferred the photo into Procreate, cutting out the head of the model and facing two heads towards each other. Using the Procreate app, I was able to transfer different colors that I wanted onto the models face. I played around and went for a darker aesthetic. Experimentation is what my art is built on, using what is in front of me to create something different.
