Wowowow. To be honest, I always thought 'mixed media' meant the artist was rather lazy.
But this is amazing and my mindset is changed completely.

Harma Heikens: Mother and Child (2004)

^ Yikes, that's rather creepy. It reminds me of something that keeps popping up in my mind out of nowhere - a person's face, perfect, smooth, fair, which morphs into a face with shrivelled skin.
The title is interesting though - it parodies the concept behind the Renaissance paintings of Mother and Child / Madonna and Child / etc - mother Mary with baby Jesus - and because of this, I find it interesting.
