Inspiration:
Archetypes: a child; a bird; the forest have universal appeal and live in our collective unconcious. I’ve always loved fairytales and I think this image I’ve created has a story in there waiting to be told. With this image I’ve taken a different direction compared to my impressionistic portraits which was really quite a surprise and very enjoyable.

    aglaia b

    OMG HELEN!
    i’m shivering.
    this is just out of this world, i’m so excited, even my two have their little eyes fixated on the monitor. her eyes just look amazing, the colours, her birds nest type hair.
    EVERYTHING.
    JUST SIMPLY STUNNING.
    plus that is my favourite pose, front and centre looking straight into the lens.
    WOW ;-) xox

  • Helen Chierego replied

    Mark was inspired by it – he said he was going to compose some music to go with it. I may do a whole series of related images and write the story. he he he! I’d love to see the faces of those two little critics standing beside you and hear their comments… Cheers H

  • Ted Byrne

    Ted Byrne

    There are NO SEAMS! Your porcelain princess is real in every imaginary sense. What an accomplishment… overwhelming. She seems so burdened with the weight of her inheritance. Hmmmm…. is that a moral or a story point? I’m off to ponder… Pondering is a very good thing. It means that the art … ROCKS!

  • Helen Chierego replied

    Ted, yes pondering is a very good thing…and you have made me ponder some more. You’ve put into words what I needed to take my pondering further and maybe translate the outcome into some words that can sit comfortably beside the image. ...’burdened by the weight of her inheritance.’ I think that is the key to the story yet to be told. Thank you so much. Cheers Helen
