Aurora
Aurora came spontaneously to the artist after working on her for some months. Suddenly the artist saw her sparkly, blue eyes and the turquoise, shiny hair in his mind. And she became alive. She is timid, she is shy. She has a small smile that she never can make big enough to fully enjoy. She tries to act confidently, but her body language exposes her inner conflicts. The original name for this amazing piece of pop art is Alien Apathy. A sincere description of the stare of her eyes and the body that has some extra terrestrial body parts. She claims her place in the world. She shows off just as she is and tries to be her best. Just like the rest of us.
Aurora has a special place in the artist collection. She looks almost identical to one person that Monkii knew. And she was created before they even met. This has always puzzled the artist. How can you make a painting of someone and meet them right after?
