The figure in this painting is a symbol of strength and acceptance at their finest. I wanted to capture the unyielding freedom and beauty of the female with her bared upper body. Her unwavering gaze, which directly meets yours, symbolises an unspoken dialogue of authenticity and self-assurance - a reflection of the strength that lies in every person who chooses to take full ownership of their story.
The background of bright, interwoven flowers forms a calm contrast to its immediacy, symbolising the cycles of growth, vulnerability and renewal. Each flower has its own story to tell and comes together as a celebration of life in all its complexity. The colours intermingle, just as our emotions and experiences shape who we are.
This portrait is more than just something to look at - it encourages viewers to confront their vulnerability, appreciate their inner strength and find beauty in imperfection. I see it as a testament to our shared humanity.
