Title: Self-Portrait
Medium: Mixed Media on Canvas
Dimensions: 91 cm x 138 cm
"Self-Portrait" is an intimate and deeply personal exploration of body, identity, and transformation. Through layered brushstrokes and expressive forms, the artist reveals both the "before" and "after" of her own body, transformed by the profound experience of three pregnancies.
The painting reflects a journey of self-acceptance and self-love in a world where societal norms often dictate how a body should look. The visible "layers of skin" symbolize vulnerability and strength, capturing both the physical and emotional changes of motherhood.
This work stands as a declaration: every body carries its own beauty, its own story, and its own power. For the artist, this piece marks the first step toward embracing and loving herself fully, beyond imposed standards and external expectations.
