The Journey: Her Story
 
I started this painting in 2021. That year, I didn't have time for painting, and it was a very stressful time. One night, I couldn't take it anymore and needed an outlet. I started putting down some paint using unusual tools, like a kid's ruler, palette knives, and even my fingers, to free up some stress. After a while, an abstract portrait of a woman emerged.
Sometime later, I found a photograph of a lady that inspired me to keep working on this piece. She evolved from abstract and washed out to figurative and colorful.
You can see all the layers in this piece; it was an evolution of hurt and healing.
 
She is called "The Journey"
