Raw - Original Painting

About the painting:

There are moments in life that divide everything into before and after.

I painted "Raw" in 2013 while leaving an abusive relationship and learning to trust my own voice. The figure presses against their own face as though trying to hold themselves together, suspended somewhere between exhaustion, grief, and the determination to survive.

This painting became part of my very first solo exhibition and marks the beginning of a body of work that continues to explore identity, healing, and the emotions that are often difficult to say out loud.

Although born from a deeply personal experience, I hope it resonates with anyone who has ever had to rebuild themselves after believing they had disappeared.

Created with acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas, the piece reflects on transformation, identity, and overcoming.
