Rather than the actual Gia Marie Carangi, I painted the actress Angelina Jolie in her portrayal of the tragic life and death of the famous supermodel. In the film Gia (1998), one is swept off by the character —someone so captivatingly beautiful and ferociously alive that the world kept demanding more of her, someone who seems to always aim to live everything to the fullest and yet is at odds with her own success—, and simultaneously also by the soul-tearing performance by Angelina Jolie, which is, in my opinion, one of the most accomplished performances I ever got to see in a movie. In this painting, I want Angelina to gaze at the viewer, half challenging and half invitingly, in an image where her physical beauty is almost incidental, and her unruliness and hunger for life are what is delivered. One line from the movie stuck with me:
“I should have been a rock star, but I can’t sing”.
