Seeking balance in life can require ongoing intentional balance between the forces that pull and sway. As a personal narrative, one hand feels the weight of issues, depressing them, with the other hand which prays for enlightenment and fulfillment of souls desires.

About The Artwork

Seeking balance in life can require ongoing intentionality between the forces that pull and sway. As a personal narrative, one hand feels the weight of issues, depressing them, with the other hand which prays for enlightenment and fulfillment of souls desires. Originally created in 2019, I returned to this painting in 2022 after considering Batman as a character reference. Bridging this character into thinking as a woman, the multitude of balancing societal, and personal forces softens but doesnt completely go away while aging.

I'm fascinated by the essence of painting itself—its process, how the paint moves on the canvas, and the vivid expressiveness of colors and textures that create a tangible and emotional bridge between my work and the viewer. The layers of paint invite you into a world of sensation and meaning that's yours to interpret. My approach often involves revisiting and reworking the canvas, much like the way relationships evolve and renew over time. My art reflects my journey—my introspections, connections with others, and, fundamentally, my relationship with painting itself. Human figures frequently emerge in my work, symbolizing the universal experiences of emotion, values, encounters, and the passage of time. These figures capture fleeting moments, bridging the present with the memory of a distant, earlier self. While I play with the balance between reality and imagination, I also embrace the unpredictable, using it to capture your attention and keep you engaged. A recurring theme in my work is visibility, particularly reflecting on my identity as a woman navigating a phase of life that often feels overlooked by society. It's this struggle for visibility, for recognition, that resonates through my art, connecting with viewers on a profoundly personal level.
