It's amazing how looping and scattered lines we used to draw as children can convey such strong emotions.(Bored Panda)

About Liz Y Ahmet
Liz Y Ahmet from Maidstone, Kent - UK, is a self-taught artist who makes use of a seemingly messy approach to create extremely detailed and expressive feminine portraits. (Bored Panda)
Liz is an expressive portrait artist who has always been fascinated by faces. Her style is constantly evolving and has progressively become more self reflective - though never self portraitive. She prefers to select a photo reference that best conveys her emotion at that time, and create a piece spontaneously, with more emphasis on getting the emotive content than focusing on accurate a representation of the face. The portraits are always female using various mediums, with the faces often portrayed mask-like, the main objective to convey emotion, the mask - the external, a shield presented to the world and the scribbled technique - the chaos of emotions contained within.
