Shy in Bloom

This single edition mixed media artwork, "Shy in Bloom," is a reflection of my younger self, portrayed through the lens of who I am today. The delicate white flowers gently veil a figure, their face appearing older, representing me now as I look back at those early years. Almost hidden beneath abstract patterns, the face captures the quiet struggle of a child who sought refuge in the shadows. The soft blooms mirror the cautious nature of my past, while the vibrant colors around them highlight the internal conflict of navigating an overwhelming world.

This piece is presented on a 31 x 42-inch stretched canvas, custom-made on a Premium Fine Art Matte Canvas 410g/m² with 1.5-inch thick wood for a true gallery look. The Giclee printing, using pigment ink, is designed to meet gallery and museum longevity standards, ensuring the consistency of shades for up to 200 years. "Shy in Bloom" is a tribute to the quiet resilience I embraced, finding strength in my gentle nature and the journey towards self-acceptance.
