With Attitude 

"With Attitude" is a painting by Joseph Lorusso, who was born in 1966. The work seems to invite us into a space of contemplation, exploring the nuances of identity and self-perception. The subject’s gaze, combined with the title of the piece, suggests defiance of conventional expectations; it is a refusal to conform to traditional standards. This could be interpreted as an exploration of female agency and the reclamation of one's narrative. The use of color, particularly the variations of reds and pinks, evokes warmth, sensuality, and also perhaps a hint of rebellion. The artist has said that his paintings are about capturing “fleeting moments.” The pose and expression seem to capture not just a likeness but an interior life. "With Attitude" is a testament to the complexities of human emotion and the power of self-expression.
