Defiance

“Defiance” was inspired by a time when I struggled to find courage in the face of challenges. I wanted to capture the essence of bravery, unwavering determination, and resilience. The piercing gaze of the woman in the portrait reflects the defiant spirit I yearned to embody. As I painted, I channeled my emotions into each brushstroke, aiming to feel empowered through the process. The vibrant background contrasts beautifully with the soft, warm tones in her face, highlighting her strength. The painting conveys the message of overcoming adversity and standing strong in the face of challenges.
