The painting that the woman left behind seems to be what has attracted people to this case. I look at paintings on a daily basis, and am very used to 'reading' them. Here I what I get from it... - The artist did not go to art school, or receive any other formal training. - I belive that it was painted by a woman. - Most of the figures in the painting seem to be women. - The two figures on the left were painted using photographs as reference, probably the same photograph. - The painting has a strong african feel to it, and its colors feel a bit Ugandan. - The left/right chaos/structure construction of the painting is very strong. Many paintings feature such structure, but rarely as overt as this. This is a feature of paintings by people who have not received much in the way of a formal traing. - I believe that this painting was made by a woman as a response to a crisis, probably of sexual/social origin. - I belive it is also a self portrait. Edit... I should say that I am using as reference the BBC's photo of the painting, as reffernced by user rwmj.
