Beauty

This portrait explores the layered nature of identity, strength, and self-expression.

Bold color and expressive mark-making move across the face, revealing both vulnerability and power. The surrounding butterflies suggest transformation, echoing the idea that beauty is not fixed, but continually evolving.

There is an intensity in the gaze, balanced by moments of softness, inviting the viewer to consider the many versions of self that exist beneath the surface.

Created through a process of abstraction and refinement, this piece continues to reveal new details and meaning over time.
