About The Artwork
If you or someone you know suffers from depression, you understand how difficult it can be to face the world, to get up, to do anything simply because you have no energy. Simple tasks seem impossible. You struggle with a battle going on in your own mind. Getting up when you are down seems like an impossible feat. This painting is dedicated to anyone who has depression and feels they have a veil of darkness over their eyes even when they are facing the light. It’s also dedicated to anyone who doesn’t understand what it means to live with depression. Telling someone with it to just snap out of it is like telling someone with diabetes to just shake it off. Your brain in an organ like any other and can be deficient in the chemicals needed for proper function like any other. Depression comes in many forms and sometimes the strongest people suffer in silence. The stigma of mental health issues needs to be broken. Definitions need to be understood. It’s only then, you can truly help a friend in need. The figure in this painting faces the light, her eyes are still in darkness. She struggles to get up but she’s trying. I leave it up to the viewer to finish her story. .

Elisa Valenti is a self-taught contemporary figurative painter whose works delight in the beauty and vigor of real, luscious bodies. Valenti’s paintings are a sensuous celebration of form. Voluptuous figures reach, twist and revel in a Fauvist dance across the canvas, honoring their vessels. The bodies Valenti paints serve as a looking glass for those whose own bodies have been underrepresented in modern and contemporary art. Growing up in a culture where body-positivity did not yet exist and worthiness could only be equated with thinness, it wasn’t until Valenti started painting bodies that looked like hers that her journey of self love began. Utilizing arresting colors evocative of the Fauves and Cubist color-blocking, Valenti adapts two iconic styles pioneered by men and flips the gaze inward. As well, she draws inspiration from her mother’s career as a lingerie sample-maker and master dress maker, venerating the celestial mounds and valleys of the female form. Each brushstroke highlighting the curve of a hip or roll of flesh is an act of defiance – a celebration of radical worthiness.
