Untitled (smile) is based on a close up of a woman smiling.
My intent was to isolate her smile and try to turn something usually associated with good feelings in something more sinister.
I kept the low definition of the source image , focusing on the bottom part of the face and avoiding more descriptive details.
To confuse even more the perception of the image, the colors of original picture are alterated by the algorithms of a phone app, rendering the painting more ambiguous.
