This work started as a joke. We were talking about famous paintings and suddenly someone said, "What if the girl with the pearl had a milk moustache?" That stuck. And so I just started doing something with it.
The result: a classic-looking painting, but with a wink. The look, the pose and the light are reminiscent of the old painting, but the milk moustache adds some humour. That's exactly the point.
I wanted to make something that makes people smile for a moment. An image you know, but slightly different. No deep meaning, no big message. Just fun, and a little bit different.
It fits nicely in a modern interior where a bit of humour is welcome. For example, in the kitchen or above the dining table, where the milk is often on the table.
