Nancy Flammea, Girl with Bubble Gum (PEOPLE & PORTRAIT 2024)

Inspired by the Dutch Artist Vermeer’s famous painting “Girl with a pearl earring” Although there are many quirky plays on the famous painting, usually superimposed over the original. I thought I would take it a step further creating the iconic painting as close to the original as I could, asking my model to blow bubble gum at various stages, which is harder than you might think but a lot of fun.
