In history textbooks, historical novels and films, we have seen more than once what famous historical figures and symbols of the era looked like. Generals, politicians, revolutionaries, monarchs - ancient artists painted portraits from them, and modern painters continue to paint. True, modern portraits of some of them are rather strange and unusual. Well, Jeanne dArc and Queen Elizabeth could not look like the artist Christa Palazzolo painted them!
Christa previously lived and studied in Austin, Texas. But then she realized that there was little room for her work here, and moved to New York, where she lives to this day. The girl has already managed to organize several of her own exhibitions, but it was a series of portraits called "Talking Heads" that brought her fame. This series includes unusual portraits of historical characters.
The artist claims that she willingly studied history at school and university, and this helped her create new modern images for her characters. Say, she tried to look into their souls - and that's what she saw in front of her.
In general, Christa Palazzolo has a rather unusual style and very interesting and original works. You can see them in the gallery on her website.
