About the Item
Words in painting: I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know I can give love for a minute, for a half an hour, for a day, for a month. bit I know I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that. helping people in need is a good and essential part of my life. a kind of destiny. everyone needs to feel valued
Everyone has the potential to give something back. Carry our random acts of kindness with no explanation of reward. Safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you. Hugs can do a great amount of good especially for children. The greatest problem in the world today is intolerance. People are so intolerant of each other. Anywhere I see suffering that is where I want to be.
Christina Major was born in Concord, New Hampshire in 1982. She has lived all over the world including Hawaii, France, New York and more currently Florida. Christina has achieved her MFA at Florida Atlantic University and has exhibited throughout South Florida. Her work has been collected both nationally and internationally.
Christina Major is a portrait painter interested in the ways the identity of both artist and subject can coexist in a painting. Major's graduate thesis exhibition, Components of self, evolved from her desire to combine large scale portrait painting with writing. She developed methods of using paint to express a merging of herself with the individual painted in the portrait, resulting in a hybrid of herself and the person depicted.

Christina Major
The work of American painter Christina Major sees a convergence of styles that she has made uniquely her own. Collectors will find traces of Pop art, Photorealism and Expressionism in the wide range of distinctive portraits she has created over the years.
A closer inspection of each large-scale canvas, which is prepared with gesso and stretched, will also reveal the integration of text — Major layers hand-painted words and phrases in cursive over each of her painted subjects’ faces, which draws on her background in graphic design and affords the artist the chance to share her own memories and opinions or general thoughts on the subject of a given work.
Major, a native of Concord, New Hampshire, centers her paintings on cultural icons. She has painted the visages of American musician Prince, actresses Lauren Bacall and Audrey Hepburn, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, as well as Pop art staples such as James Dean and Marilyn Monroe.
After living in several places around the world, Major is now based in Florida and earned her MFA at Florida Atlantic University, and has exhibited throughout South Florida. Her work is held in private collections in the United States and elsewhere.

"HRH Princess Julia" - Hyperrealist Portrait Painting by Georgina Clapham
Located in West Hollywood, CA
This small vertical 31 inch high by 23.5 inch wide original oil painting on canvas is wired and ready to hang. The detail in this artwork is astounding. From the gaze and makeup details around the eyes to the the ornate jewelry, Princess Julia is absolutely sublime. The sides of the artwork are not painted and it does not require framing. It is signed and titled by the artist on the back of the artwork
British painter Georgina Clapham conspicuously engages with story telling and theatricality, drawing together Renaissance portraiture, Greek Mythology, folklore, mysticism, animals, nature, the artificial, high fashion, subculture, gender, identity and sexuality, in her meticulous life size figurative paintings. Through the traditional media of oil paint on linen and intaglio printmaking, she creates her own contemporary mythologies. Staging her paintings using people in her everyday life, she infuses these timeless narratives with the intimacy and tangibility of her friendships and personal relationships drawing out their psychology and sexuality; as such, the works become as much a depiction of her own imagined narrative as of the individuals’ personality.
She has previously attended City and Guilds of London Art School, 2013 and The Glasgow School of Art, 2014-16, where her work was purchased into the archive. In 2015 she was awarded The Richard Ford...
