Joanne Nam Artist Influence



This image captured my interest and admiration at an instant. It had a melancholy, surreal, and reflective  style to it. 
The reason I picked it was because the artist painted it with a certain beauty that I appreciate. It had a realistic quality to it. 

It reflected a sadness that I am fascinated by. 

It felt like a connection to a certain quiet aesthetic. The image reminded me of a girl stuck in a silent, cold world, disconnected from real life, and lamenting on her past, looking crest fallen. 

Details: 

Her eyes are rimmed with red and downcast, so it seems like she is either crying, in anguish, or looking at a dead animal. 

Either she is in a state of confusion, wearing a raincoat while it is clearly finished snowing, or it is symbolism, wanting to protect her fragile body from the cruelty of the outside world with the wrong strategy. 

The wolf/dog looks intelligent and alert, seeming to be her only friend.
