Artwork Description:
This portrait of an Argentinian woman was created by Nicholaas Chiao based on the multiple photographs of a young couple obtained by the artist in her Upper West Side apartment in New York. In 2013 the artist staged the shooting in the manner of a film director or Eric Fischl style and 2 hours of photo session took nearly a hundred photographs, most of which were unfortunately later lost. This painting is based on the photo from that session with the added green plant on the right side.
