Paloma's Boudoir, "After Paloma Picasso", by k Madison Moore

14 x 18 inches Oil on Canvas

Art within Art Series
SOLD



I am having so much fun painting this series. It finally all came together after a year of thinking about how to approach this series and now the ideas are endless so there will be many more coming.

I always admired Paloma Picasso's designs and thought it would be cool to do a painting about her.
I imagined being the daughter of Pablo Picasso that she would be as colorful and extravagant  as her father in her personal taste so I thought this painting would project her personality.
It was a lot of work doing all the little details but working with so many colors is always my favorite when doing a painting.
Although Paloma designed jewelery for Tiffnay I thought it was a good idea to do the little Tiffany Lamp on the dresser to represent her with Tiffany. I have posted a video here of Paloma and some of her jewelry.
Paloma also has her own fragrance line so the black perfume bottle on the dresser is her well known design and there is a link below for you to view them. The handbag on the sofa is also a Paloma design
as well as the sunglasses and the slippers.
The photo in the frame on the dresser is a sketch that Pablo Picasso did of Paloma's mother and I thought this was a nice personal touch for this painting.
Lot's of fun doing this painting. 
Enjoy


Anne Paloma Picasso (born 19 April 1949 in Vallauris, France) known professionally as Paloma Picasso, is a French/Spanish fashion designer and businesswoman, best known for her jewelry designs and signature perfumes. She is the youngest daughter of famed 20th-century artist Pablo Picasso and painter and writer Françoise Gilot. Paloma Picasso's older brother is Claude, her half brother is Paulo and her half sister is Maya.

Paloma literally means "dove" (or "pigeon") in Spanish. Paloma Picasso is represented in many of her father's works, such as Paloma with an Orange and Paloma in Blue.[

In 2000, Picasso, known for her bold colors and books, took her home accessories in a new direction. The once bright primary colors gave way to gray, gold, and tan. This shift was also reflected in Picasso’s personal appearance since she dispensed with the fire truck-engine-red lipstick favored by her since the age of 17.

Long before guest designers created collections for mass-market retailers and celebutantes became artistic advisors to fashion houses, Paloma Picasso began designing a line of jewelry with her name attached to it for Tiffany &Co. Eventually, she became a brand of her own, with accessories and scents and home furnishings, among other products.
