Her Last Portrait wrote on Instagram,

„Most femicide victims remain faceless. Their names disappear,
their stories are reduced to statistics. Through art, we can give
them back their presence.

Her Last Portrait is a global initiative calling on artists to create
portraits of femicide victims. Together, we are building a
collective memorial to honor their lives and make their
stories visible.

Join us by creating a portrait in any medium and sharing it
as a Collab-Post with @HerLastPortrait. We aim to showcase
the most powerful works in an international exhibition in 2026.

Let’s give them a face. Let’s not forget.“

There was a cry of terror.

In a clearing, a man stands atop a burning pyre, a woman slung over his shoulder in an attempt to rescue her, while shock and terror ripple through the small crowd gathered in the foreground.

"Excalibur" 🔪✨
My first assignment in Cynthia Sheppard's "Illustrating the Emotional Narrative" class at Smarterartschool!

#illustration #mastoart #art

King Arthur sits on the ground next to a mossy rock, proudly thrusting the sword Excalibur up into the air, suggesting that he's just drawn it out from the stone. It has a magical blue glow. In the background, some people cheer his success, while a few others seem miffed about it.

Help I’ve been turned into a doll!
I needed a break to get out of art block and this trend was the perfect distraction. I’ve loved seeing everyone’s takes on this trend, they’re all so different and lovely. AI will never make something half as original.

An illustration of an action figure box pasted onto a picture of Sariel’s hand so it looks like they’re holding the box. The action figure is a miniature version of sariel, they’re wearing a black leather coat, a blue, purple and pink argyle sweater vest and pink pants. They have black hair with a white strand on the front. The pack includes an extra head with clown makeup, three science fiction books, a clarinet and an iPad and an extra hand holding an Apple pen. The writing on the box says things like “interchangeable heads!” “With realistic top surgery scars… and tattoos!” “Multiple outfits included!” And so on

How John Singer Sargent’s ‘Madame X’ Turned Paris High Society Upside Down

by Katie White

#art #culture #painting

John Singer Sargent, Madame X (Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau) (1883–84).

She is portrayed standing against a dark, neutral background that emphasizes her pale, luminous skin and elegant posture.

She wears a dramatic, black satin evening gown with jeweled straps and a plunging neckline that reveals her shoulders and décolletage. Originally, one strap was painted slipping off her shoulder—a suggestive detail that Sargent later repainted due to public scandal. Her pose is poised yet aloof: her right hand rests on a small, ornate table while her left arm is relaxed at her side, and her body twists subtly, creating a graceful curve. Her expression is distant, with a slight tilt of the head and a cool, almost haughty gaze.

Marc Chagall's painting, White Crucifixion, was Pope Francis's favorite. "Pain is depicted there with serenity," said the late pontiff of the 1938 work, which was created in reaction to Nazi crimes against Jews. Forward examines how Francis' experiences under military dictatorship in Argentina in the 1970s may have led to his love for the painting, which culture editor Talya Zax says shows, "there is a kind of fragile peace to be found in the act of surviving what might seem unsurvivable." Zax concludes: "He understood, very well, the violence of the world he was about to leave. And he understood, like Chagall, that any experience of peace within that world was something to strive for — not something guaranteed."
