Girl on Fire – Original 30x48 Mixed Media Painting on Canvas by Erin McGrath Rieke
About this Artwork
Girl on Fire is a 30 x 48 inch hand-painted mixed media canvas by Erin McGrath Rieke, created in 2020 as part of her Lost in Translation series. This original contemporary abstract painting captures resilience, transformation, and emotional intensity through layered textures and expressive brushwork. Inspired by Alicia Keys’ anthem Girl on Fire, the composition centers on a veiled figure whose deep, searching eyes convey both introspection and strength.
Though part of a series of intimate small works, this larger canvas amplifies the emotional presence, reflecting the isolation and introspection of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each layered gesture of acrylic, paper, and mixed media evokes a sense of personal growth, shadow and light, and the flickering possibility of reinvention. Girl on Fire is a one-of-a-kind artwork that brings a powerful, contemplative energy to any collection or living space.
