Framed

In the exhibition "Framed," I embrace the medium of oil painting, a discipline that harkens back to my foundational artistic roots. This transition, influenced by my current experience of pregnancy, represents a harmonious blend of life's creative forces with artistic expression. As an sculptor, this temporary shift to painting is not a deviation, but a reconnection with the primal elements of my artistic practice.

"Framed" is an exploration of womanhood, seen through my personal transformation and societal reflection. The artworks delve into female identity, maturity, and the intricate dance between personal evolution and external perception. It offers a spectrum of textures and depths that parallels with the complex
layers of the female experience.

The narrative of this exhibition extends beyond my personal journey, posing critical questions about the societal constructs surrounding women. It ask the viewer to reconsider preconceived notions about femininity, particularly in the contexts of motherhood and artistic creation. Through this body of work, I
seek to foster a dialogue on the recognition and understanding of women's multifaceted roles and contributions. "Framed" is a reflection of the profound journey of becoming a mother and an artist. Is an invitation to engage with the diverse realities of womanhood, underscoring the resilience, beauty, and
transformative power inherent in the female experience. This is my own personal transition but also resonates with the broader narrative of women's empowerment and identity.
