Hopper is one of my most favorite artists. Many people see melancholy and sadness in his paintings. I don't. I see strength in simplicity. Automat from 1927 is one of those. Some people see a lonely woman in an empty diner. I see a strong, empowered woman, out on her own at night (at a time when things like that Were Not Done), fulfilling her desire for ... coffee? a piece of pie? dinner? And not needing anyone else to be there. So yeah. I see Hopper in your painting. As far as your earlier work - like the one you posted - it feels very experimental... like the early modern illustrators around the time of Mondrian... Very cool!
