Life, like art, is a journey of evolution

In a world where objectification and skewed perceptions run rampant, a thought-provoking art series emerges to challenge the norm and delve into the complexities of the mind. The series in question is a testament to the power of art as a medium for introspection and reevaluation. This is a collection that questions societal norms and prompts us to contemplate our individuality, leaving us in a state of contemplative abstraction.

“Close enough to hear you” - oil on canvas

At the heart of this art series lies a profound exploration of the "Power Pose" – a stance that symbolizes authority and confidence. This stance, often held unconsciously, speaks volumes about how we perceive ourselves and wish to be perceived by the world. As I embarked on a journey to dissect the implications of the Power Pose, a deeper awareness emerged about the intricate relationship between body language and the state of my mind.

In our modern society, certain traits have been normalized based on how we physically present ourselves. Our posture is an unspoken language that reveals our emotions, desires, and aspirations. A simple shift in pose can hint at confidence, openness, strength, or dominance. Within this context, I offer to my painted women the poses that signify power in my center stage. By doing so, I permit them to demand their spotlight, to assert their presence in a world that has often confined them to the shadows.

“In my own space” - oil on canvas

Each painting in this series is a canvas that encapsulates a story, a narrative of transformation and growth. Life, like art, is a journey of evolution, and the stories behind these paintings mirror the pivotal moments of change we experience. Stepping outside one's comfort zone is akin to facing a blank canvas – the opportunity to paint a new chapter and express the essence of who we are becoming. This phase of new beginnings may be discomforting, requiring us to align our actions with our aspirations to embody the confidence we wish to exude.

But within this discomfort, the true essence of power and abstraction comes to life. Just as brushstrokes on a canvas create an abstract masterpiece, so does the journey of embracing one's power pose lead to a uniquely abstract and compelling life. It is a life shaped by intention and self-assurance that challenges norms and redefines perceptions.

In a world that often objectifies and confines, this art series serves as a reminder that each of us possesses the agency to shape our narrative. Once a mere physical stance, the power pose transforms into a symbol of empowerment. In this series, my art journey intersects with the viewers' paths, inspiring them to reflect on their physical and mental postures. The canvases, adorned with stories of change and growth, beckon us to step into our discomfort and paint our abstract lives.

In conclusion, this art series is a testament to the transformative potential of art. It unravels the intricate relationship between body language, self-perception, and empowerment. Through exploring power poses, I question societal norms and provide a platform for women to claim their authority and demand their rightful place in the spotlight. The stories encapsulated within each painting mirror the journey of life itself – a journey that requires stepping into discomfort to create something uniquely abstract and powerful. This collection serves as a call to action, urging us all to reevaluate how we present ourselves to the world and how we can shape our narratives with intention and purpose.
