Self Portrait, Original Acrylic Painting on Belgian Linen Canvas

This piece is an original painting from my latest collection ‘MORE OF ME’

With my obsession with diagonal stripes, and the subtle sporty vibe they lend, I continued on with my exploration into self portraiture in my ‘MORE OF ME’ collection.

Building on a moody background, I wanted to combined the athletic nostalgia of pairing navy blue and red, and contrast it against something earthy and grounding. I continuously come back to olive green, as it just feels like me.

This piece further explores my journey back to self, not only spiritually but equally in a physical sense. The vibrant stripes shine through my heart centre, the source of my intuition, and represent the innate knowing that guides me in love, life and art.

‘MORE OF ME’ has been an opportunity of reflection and realignment with myself. I have always resonated with the saying, "everything happens for a reason," especially during times of discomfort. Through the lessons and growth of the past twelve months, this belief has found a deeper resonance.

The concept of ‘self-love’ varies for everyone, but for me, it is closely linked to my creative practice. Recent events in my life have gifted me with a deeper respect and appreciation for the precious nature of my creativity. This gratitude extends to my spiritual and physical connection with my body, which I explored through these works.

Through vulnerability, colour and playfulness, I was fortunate to produce these 12 original paintings, which I am deeply grateful for. I hope you feel a sense of peace and harmony whilst experiencing them, and I thank you for sharing this period of growth with me.
