The artist that I chose to use as my influence in this project is Helena Wierzbicki. She
was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and attended the Escuala De Bellas Artes there. She has
participated in local and international art shows. To her, art is a balance between the inner
and outer world. She has 137 artworks, and continues to create. There was a particular
painting of hers that stood out to me, entitled Blue Lady. I was intrigued by the use of cooler
colors and abstract shapes that represented different parts of the piece. Wierzbicki is an
expressionist, creating art that has to do with her innermost thoughts and emotions. This art
piece really depicts the expression through the amazing use of color, imaginative figures and
bold colors. This work of art really drew me in because I love the beauty it has. It catches the
eye and made me want to almost study it. I decided to add my own face into this piece
because that is the way I wanted to interpret it. I also used oil pastels in contrast to the paint
that Wierzbicki used. It was interesting to do this, because I also interpreted how I see myself.
I began by sketching a picture of my face, then using pastels to fill in similar colors to the
original.

I looked at many other pieces done by Helena Wierzbicki, and I found that many of her works represent
the human form. I especially like the closer face portraits because they have more detail and have
given off.

Going through the process of doing my own art from the inspiration of another artist, I learned a
lot about art and about myself. I was able to do something that I did not feel was within my artistic
ability. I like the idea that Helena Wierzbicki uses modern art that is beautiful and poetic. I am happy
with the results of this portrait, and have experienced the benefits of hard work and dedication. I truly
enjoyed doing this project, and I hope to improve my skill and knowledge of art in the future.
