Imperfections

Artist: Alaina Yung

Acknowledging one’s flaws is not something everybody can do. However Alaina Yung’s self-portrait Imperfections not only showcases her self-perceived flaws, but it does so in a beautiful and artistically sound manner. For this piece, Yung employed the use of a somber and relaxing color palette to give off a more relaxing and calming vibe, which pairs nicely with her darker features like eyes and hair. In summary, this painting is a beautiful work of both conveying both humility and self esteem.
