As I see it, there's a portrait photo, the base and the ice flower is painted over.
Yup. I just said it in my post ☝️
That's why it is so interesting as it's not just the ice flower, it's the portrait behind it as well.
I wonder what paint did she use to let the face still be visible to some extent. It's a brilliant work.
I was delighted to see it at a glance, and the shape. Then I read it and I said... what a genius! It's not easy that technique. Not easy at all.
I suppose it's not easy as you have to mix the right paint, to be transparent enough and still be able to leave a mark. I've never seen anything like this before.
Neither do I but it reminds me of so many things in nature where it looks like there are human faces as if something or someone has put them there. How interesting!
