Concept Idea
At first, I was going to make her look a little more sad, holding the mirror that is reflecting her past, but I've changed my mind. I found her boxing photo-shoots which kinda awesome! Now the concept idea is this.
Two spears, one is the past wearing a mask, another is herself that beat all the bad things and proudly became strong. What lie between her present and her past, on the floor, are her albums. The reason is to show that , in life, everything is connected, by time.
Over than that, she will be wearing a princess crown to represent her title; The Princess of Pop. Still, she didn't get it for free. What it took to become a princess is mentioned in paragraph above. Another problem is she couldn't become a Queen. The Queen. After all these time. To show that she can't become a Queen I will place the list of pop singers on the wall, a world map to indicate that she has gone all over the globe and some posters. These will be something like ester eggs (Things that the audience can see and indirectly give the hidden information) in the background (which I've got an inspiration from Kill Bill).
Lastly, I will use the oil painting style to make everything to be more surrealism and I may blur out what not so important because this is a portrait not a poster, so, the focal point is Britney herself. From the song named 'Lucky', "She's so lucky, she's a star But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking If there's nothing missing in my life Then why do these tears come at night", These phases gave me an idea. Also, she once broke and she is still not complete. That's why I make her body apart, pieces to pieces, like a doll. Hence this is a story about a girl named Lucky, Britney... :)

Expressive Portrait's Mood Board
These are my mood boards for this project. Do you know that in early this year, Britney Spears announced that she had quit the X Factor USA to 'concentrate on her music career'?
However, a new report has alleged that the star actually quit after she failed to get a pay rise of $3 million. Having been paid $15 million for her role as a judge on the second season of the show, it has been claimed that the 'Baby One More Time' star was hoping to net $18 million for her appearance on the show's third season.
Even when she knows that last season, X Factor lost 20 percent of its 18-to-49 audience, with ad revenue dropping from $502 million in year one to $386 million in 2012, according to Kantar Media.
And I think, LOL! I must do some surrealism art for her.

Inspiration from Britney Spears
Who is Britney Spears? A Celebrity? A Singer? No doubt, she has had a crazy life. She got married young, had two kids and then got divorced. Then she went a bit "cuckoo," but now things seem to be back to normal ... or are they?
Why do I choose her? because she is, like, a super famous singer from my recollection since I was young. She also is a has-been that never was. (I was born in 1994) At the age of 8, Brit auditioned for the Disney Channel's New Mickey Mouse Club, but didn't get the part. Instead, she went on the talent competition show, Star Search, in 1992 and showcased her singing talents to the world. Next, her dream came true when she's 11 at Disney Channel's. So when I was a new born baby, she has already been known globally. And I've been following her news ever since.
Many years passed, I don't know why but she designed to get married at the very young age, and divorce 55 hrs. after that. Yes, it was not even 2 days , yet, again, she got married the second time and gave birth to her first son. As a new mom, Britney found herself in trouble in February 2006 after she was caught driving her car with her baby son in her lap. Her parenting skills became a subject of national debate, and critics said she was sending the wrong message to millions of her fans. I know it was a serious issue, but me and my friends always find celebrities news a joke, no exception for Britney. Check this out.
Further than that, she has been known for the title 'Princess of Pop' according to her over '66 Million Albums Sold'. Still, she can't be the Queen like Madonna who has over '400 Millions Of Albums Sold'. In this decade, Lady gaga is on her way to becoming a Princess of pop. But really everyone knows that the Princess of pop is Brittany Spears, no matter how many bad stuff that has happened to her in the past years she is the princess. But what's funny is what Britney have said. It inspires me. A lot. For the expressive portrait.

Cubism Research
Unlike surrealism that try its best to make everything look real even if it's not, cubism makes things look dreamy and unreal. This doesn't mean it is not beautiful. It's still charming in its own cubic kind of style. What I like about cubism is that cubism has an ability to bring life to artworks by making normal picture on flat canvas interesting. It can be modernish or oldish. How it's really look vary by what tool, technical and stylistic aspects the artist is used.
Surrealism Research
From my point of view, surrealism is an art movement that has been known for long time from the past and still popular until today. It's a combination of imagination, dream vision, and real life, everyday life vision. For examples, a hot air balloon in the hallway of a palace surrounded by the sea, rabbit-headed humans or even rain of men in black uniform. It can be anything real or not, as long as it's look real. If you ask me I have to say that I like the movement of surrealism a lot because it can strongly expresses emotions without thought of the truth of time-and-space that we see every single day. It can by in or out this universe. Personally, I have been interested in Collage art which is kind of a subsurrealism as well.
