Beauty Beneath The Scarf



For my Q1 art project, I had to create an artistic representational piece that is centered around a color wheel. For my 1st thoughts of what to make I wanted to make an edgy, trippy, psychedelic color wheel art piece, but when I drew the art piece I realized that it would be too much work and take up too much time. I wanted to make something simplistic, yet complex, I didn't want anything too mediocre, but extravagant to the eyes. So i started coming up with another idea for a painting. I wanted to do something very authentic, and representational, at that moment I wanted to paint a picture of a woman wearing a khimar with the color wheel being her face. I wanted to use a beautiful Muslimah as a reference for the picture, so I asked my sister if I could draw a picture of her I found on Instagram. She was one of my main inspirations for the portrait, what also inspired me was a color wheel of a skull I had seen on google, which gave me the idea of doing a face. The reason why I called it the beauty beneath the scarf, is because I wanted to create a picture showing how beautiful Muslim women can be despite wearing over garments and being fully covered. So I gave it the name it has because, it shows that all women are beautiful despite, who or what they are whether it's, religion, race, size, and age. That muslim women can be beautiful to despite them wearing khimars. It took a long time to finally figure how I wanted the picture to look but it's finally results came out satisfying to the eye.
