Three Shadows
by Kate Viola
Regarding her work, the artist says:
This painting was inspired by the haunting arias often found in operas. I was listening frequently to opera during this time and found both the vocals and music ethereal and otherworldly. I felt the need to combine this feeling with the beautiful aesthetics of an old, ornate opera house. I believe beauty and darkness coincide and wanted to paint these elements together.
