Original painting. 75x100cm (Apx. 30”x40”) Acrylic on stretched cotton canvas.

This painting was created based upon the idea of the discovery, growth and acceptance of us. Of me, of you.

The idea that with each passing year I, and I’m sure a lot of you, feel more and more authentically ourselves and the liberation and contentment that comes with that is so very beautiful to experience. We all go through phases of trying to fit in, of dulling ourselves down or trying to brighten ourselves up to blend with different people. This piece is about celebrating breaking out of that. Letting your true self be free and ignoring pressures and expectations. Feeling your soul find its way through the exterior and enjoying every moment of discovering and creating who you really want to be.

I think we all need to remember that we are all works in progress. We’re ever changing, ever growing - as we should be. It’s freeing to indulge in that growth. Life is too short to put yourself into a box. Let your colours really show and allow your spirit to be free.

Now don’t let the sunlight fool you with this piece, it’s colourful for sure but in a quiet and more muted way. I didn’t want the colours to be overly bright and contrasted with this piece. It’s a gentle explosion. A slow burn of our shells unravelling. A burst of expression in a peaceful way. I’ve photographed this piece in multiple lightings to show how this painting changes with the brightness it’s given.
