Jungle girl Painting

Oil painting made on cotton canvas and signed on the back. Ready to hang on the wall as it has wire. The size is 41x41cm. This work was exhibited at the Jardim of Prejudice exhibition in Setúbal, Portugal. I have been studying the body and movement as a professional dancer, and then as a women's yoga teacher since 2014; therefore, my works now convey my personal, subjective view of body image and women's roles. I explore the concept of the body as a container for our true selves and question widely accepted ideas of what a woman should be. My heroines are not beautiful in the traditional sense of the word. They are ordinary, but their ordinariness is the essence. Each of my works is a study of my own behavioral patterns and fears. I strive for the viewer to see not only the image but also feel the emotional experience in every work.
