Your Skin

Your Skin

Discover the essence of the Silence of the Lambs with this stunning mixed media painting of Buffalo Bill, the psychotic skin wearing serial killer. 

This one‑of‑a‑kind painting created on a book and rendered by hand to transform an everyday object into expressive art. Your Skin blends reclaimed material with playful iconography and painterly intervention, giving new life and context to a utilitarian surface.

This work begins with a book about skin care and reimagines it as a canvas for artistic expression. The original book texture and clinical cover remain visible under the collage, grounding the work in its found history.

This piece explores themes of transformation, identity, and repetition—where objects designed for function become carriers of narrative and visual intrigue. By using a clinical skin care book as the foundation, the work celebrates the unexpected beauty of everyday materials and highlights the artist’s commitment to reuse and reinterpretation.

Collaged directly onto the book with layered color and mark making, the surface reveals energetic brushwork and intentional imperfections. The contrast between the clinical origin and expressive application creates a dynamic tension that draws the viewer in.
