Duality In Bloom I Print

Title: Duality in Bloom I Medium: Graphite, Charcoal and Coloured pencils Size: 34 x 41 inches In this artwork, a mesmerizing female portrait emerges from a delicate tapestry of vibrant floral elements. The floral elements that surround the portrait serve as a metaphorical representation of the woman's complex psyche. On one side, we witness the blossoming of radiant blooms, vibrant and full of life. These flowers exude an air of confidence, embodying traits such as strength, assertiveness, and extroversion. They represent the outgoing persona, the side of her that embraces the world with open arms. In contrast, on the other side of the portrait, we encounter a different realm. Here, we witness the presence of more subtle, delicate woman, accustomed, adept and familiar with the ways of the world as it is, harsh and difficult for survival. The juxtaposition of these two floral realms captures the dichotomy within the woman's being. It hints at the constant interplay and delicate balance between these contrasting aspects of her character.
