La tristesse
This painting, “La Tristesse”, is a poignant portrayal of sadness, a universal emotion that touches every soul, if only for a fleeting moment. It was born out of a period of depression in my life, a testament to the darkness that once consumed me. It serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to better understand, help, and support those grappling with depression. It’s a silent plea for empathy, for compassion, for understanding. Depression often feels like an endless tunnel with no light at the end. It can make us feel isolated, convincing us that nothing can alleviate our pain. But it’s crucial to remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness. It’s a step towards healing, towards reclaiming our lives from the clutches of this debilitating condition. To all the women and people suffering, know that you are not alone. This painting is a beacon of hope, a symbol of solidarity. It’s a reminder that even in our darkest hours, we are connected by our shared human experience. She, the woman in the painting, is a reflection of us all - resilient, enduring, and capable of overcoming even the most formidable challenges. Love and light to you all. You are seen, you are heard, and you are not alone.

Mademoiselle
Titled “Mademoiselle”, this painting summarizes the transformative era of the 1920s in America, a time that ushered in unprecedented freedom and exploration for women. This period marked a significant shift as women began to assert themselves in politics and society, breaking away from traditional roles. The dawn of the 20th century signified a new age of sexual liberation and marked the initial strides towards achieving a semblance of gender equilibrium. It was a time of change, a time of growth, and a time of empowerment for women. This painting is a tribute to that remarkable era.

La brutalite
This painting, aptly named “La Brutalité”, is a heart-wrenching portrayal of a hand, strong and unyielding, stifling a woman’s voice. It’s a chilling reminder of the pervasive violence against women, a grim reality that transcends borders and cultures. No corner of the world is untouched by this scourge. Women, in their everyday lives, confront this brutality, often at the hands of those they trust - a spouse, a boyfriend, or even a father. Each stroke of the painting echoes their silent screams, their stifled voices, and their unspoken fears. It’s a poignant reminder that the fight against such violence is far from over. It’s a battle cry for change, for justice, and for a world where every woman can speak her truth without fear.
