my boyfriend is an artist and he painted me...?

Question

When he let me see it it was a huge collage and it was my *** in high socks. I thought it would be a portrait buts its my booty. What is his perception of me...a piece of booty. HE says it his best work in his 20 year career.

Answer 1

Art is not a person. Art is outside the person, it's an object. It is meaningful in another level. He only used you as a model to communicate something else.

Anyways, you should take a look at Rigel Herrera's work:

Some girls have beautiful butts, why not paint them?

On the other side, there's this girl, Maria Elena Quej, who paints penises.

Answer 2

That would be a bit creepy, but perhaps he didn't see it as insulting when he painted it. I mean, most guys would probably be thrilled if a girl thought his back end was so hot she wanted to paint it, so it may not have occurred to him that this might bother you. I might certainly ask him never to put it up for sale or anything like that, and if you ever break up with him make sure you take it unless you want everybody and their dog to see your booty, but maybe it's not as bad as it seems. Maybe he thinks you're gorgeous and an awesome person, but it's kinda hard to paint a personality. So instead he painted a different part of you that he rather enjoys. What's wrong with that? If you are upset, I would talk to him about it or ask him to paint you again, you face the second time. But I wouldn't strangle the guy just yet, give him a chance to prove that he loves you, too, and not just your dung hill.

Answer 3

Well, I'm not sure of what his perception is because I haven't seen the artwork. But based on what you described, I would not do that as a gift for my girlfriend.
I draw and paint ladies portraits all the time and you want to draw something that magnifies their beauty. Whether its a face, full bust or full figure, you pick out their best qualities and paint them. By doing this, you make the lady or your girlfriend feel great about themselves, and they also want to show others. This gets you more work as an artist as well and makes your model or your girlfriend happy. That is the way I approach it and it has never failed me yet. But no, I would not have painted something like that for my girlfriend.

Answer 4

You use a name like 'komjong girl' and add '666' to it and you're upset that your boyfriend painted your behind? Isn't it possible that you're over-reacting and isn't is possible that you should be flattered?

Collages are complex works of art and their symbolism delves deeply and reaches across many meanings and many sub-meanings. It might just be that, in a highly symbolic way, that he is honoring you. I once painted the backside of my girlfriend (at the time) and to this day she still has and still displays and still loves that painting.

Answer 5

Some art is sensual... Many artists who paint, sculpt, or carve sensual scenes use their lover as a model. It helps them put their emotions into their work.

There is a lot more to producing the best work of your career than just the subject / model. However, I think he meant that as a huge compliment.

I am flattered when my wife uses me as a model.

Answer 6

Like Doctor Watson he sounds like a sexist pig! The truth is often reveled in art.

Answer 7

sounds like a guy who's kinda a jerk. sounds like ur rite, he only thinks of u as a piece of booty. but u mite want to ask him to explain it. sometimes art needs major explaining.

Answer 8

You held still for a length of time so your butt can wear socks?

hmm, something wrong with this picture.

Answer 9

Perhaps you should ask him to explain the message. Art is often allegory and artists often see meaning that others miss.

Answer 10

Maybe the guy thinks you have a sexy ***. Give him a break!
