Angelina Wrona

While shopping at Cosco tonight, Justin and I were headed to the checkout when he suddenly stopped and something caught his eye. Instantly I thought it was a Cosco sized package of Ranch or mustard, and I wasn't too keen on checking it out. I am glad I did though. From a couple aisles away, Justin noticed an odd looking framed picture that was sitting on a display. As we walked towards it I was shocked and amazed at what I saw. I was drawn to it and I couldn't take my eyes away. It was a painting done by Canadian artist Angelina Wrona.



Clarice










Angelina, who lives in Merrickville, Ontario, is an amazing artist whos work resembles a Tim Burton film. The creepy, slightly evil undertone of her artwork is juxtaposed with the innocent eyes of each subject. In all of Angelina's artwork, I have a hard time looking away from the intense stare of each picture. You can clearly see all of the emotion put into each painting.

I love artwork like this that really grabs your attention and speaks to your emotions without actually having to say anything.
