The Wonder, Acrylic on Canvas, 60cm wide*90 cm tall, January 2023.
The Family, Dad Mom and their two kids similarly clothed and almost the same height embodying solidarity, unity and support. Each member of this family lifts the other and holds one another. The togetherness and harmony of their ideas and beliefs help them rise from despair to see the wonder and the beauty in life itself.
Beyond, acrylic on canvas, 60cm wide X 90 cm tall, January 2023.
Who am I? Can wear many faces if I have to, but trust me I’m the same person. I can be whoever you want me to be; just tell me, and I will transform myself, because I am without myself, Is that what you really want? Because if that is true, then I feel very sad for you. Perhaps you are the one who needs to be attached to reality. I am strong. I am whole. I am… ME.
STATEMENT
My paintings are a reflection of my life as a mother and as a woman. It comes natural to me; this feeling that my emotions are escaping my heart. I then capture them on my brush, as I transform a blank canvas into images of my imagination.
I paint moments of joy, passion, fear, loneliness, sadness, love, togetherness, contentment…
I capture these moments with my brushes and colours, I then frame them on my canvas and embed them forever in my heart.
Every woman has her own Beauty, that resides in her; Truth, Authenticity, Originality and Integrity; She is a beautiful creature that can define herself in all aspects.
