Often starting my works by painting the backgrounds first, I set the mood of “Eve’s Garden” (2022) by creating a feminine ambiance with pastel tones of pink and green accompanied by dainty flowers and birds delicately settled on the branches in the foreground.
In this scene of springtime, peculiar figures gleefully prance around, illustrating the liberation of being in a place where vulnerability is trusted. Being familiar with curvier figurations, I gravitate towards painting bodies that reflect my own. Embracing my femininity, this work is a portrayal of the gentle nature and sensibility a woman embodies.
