Paolo Borile - Agnese Kalì

Agnese Kalì - Oil on panel 60x80x1cm (23.6x31.5x0.4in) 2013

The idea for this painting came to me while I was looking at Agnese, a friend of mine, staring in front of her mobile phone. She spent so much time looking at the phone that I decided to ask her if she wanted to pose for the project. I painted her as a modern Kalì, holding in her hands as many mobile phones as she could. The picture that I used as sample for the painting is the result of a Photoshop session. I worked on a MDF panel in order to obtain a very flat and lucid painting (reminding a mobile phone screen).

Agense Kalì is an oil on panel 60x80cm. I would suggest to have it framed, to prevent the panel from any possible damage.
