“Well, you should see Polythene Pam. She's so good-looking but she looks like a man” - The Beatles

This piece was inspired by the Beatles song "Polythene Pam" through its bold, fragmented style and the depiction of a striking female figure with dark hair standing amidst a chaotic, abstract background. The colorful, cubist-inspired design captures the rebellious and edgy spirit of the song, emphasizing femininity and attitude. The fragmented shapes and vivid colors evoke a sense of raw energy and attitude associated with Polythene Pam's character as portrayed in the song, creating a visual reflection of her rebellious and distinctive persona.

This piece is part of my ongoing exploration of "Faces and Facades," a series of mixed media paintings where people and places intertwine, with architecture serving as a vessel for unseen narratives. Inspired by characters from Beatles songs, each work aims to evoke the stories and emotions hidden beneath the surface, inviting viewers to look beyond the obvious and discover the deeper layers within.

The image is printed on museum quality archival paper and highlighted with acrylic paint and ink. It is then laminated to a cradled wood panel, varnished, waxed and framed in a black wood floater frame.
