Found images, portraits, women … these are a few of my favorite things! Lucky for me, Dutch painter Barbara Hoogeweegen combined all three in this series, titled “Incandescent (Gorgeous)”:

“In this series, Barbara Hoogeweegen works from found photographs of women. She aims to impact the viewer with visceral emotion and the incandescence emanating from the female psyche. The work also celebrates strength, beauty and diversity.”

Gorgeous, indeed.
