As an art history graduate, I’m fascinated by the decisions hidden beneath a painting’s surface.
X-rays of Vermeer’s A Maid Asleep reveal a male figure that the artist later painted out. That discovery became the starting point for The Man Beneath the Paint.
I imagine him trying to reach the sleeping woman as successive layers of paint erase his presence. She wakes to an empty doorway.
The film explores the fear of being forgotten through a physical act of painting. The man’s identity and his relationship to the woman are fictional; this is an imaginative response to a documented alteration, not a reconstruction of Vermeer’s intentions.
Original artwork: Johannes Vermeer, A Maid Asleep, ca. 1656–57, The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Good job
Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat - Reimagined
I chose Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat as part of an exploration of how classical portraiture can be transformed through AI and motion. By creating the subject in different poses while preserving the recognizable artistic atmosphere, I wanted to explore how a single artwork can evolve into a new visual narrative.
This piece combines traditional fine-art inspiration with contemporary AI image generation, creating a bridge between historical art and modern visual storytelling.
The goal was not simply to recreate the original, but to reinterpret its mood, composition, and character through a new creative lens.

Vermeer's Young Woman with a Water Pitcher captures an intimate moment of domestic calm: a woman beside an open window, surrounded by ordinary objects and natural light.
