FEARLESS
30 x 30
Acrylic

Fearless represents to me the way I want to live my life. It came to me almost as a gift to myself, at a moment when I needed it the most. And when I say “came to me,” it is because when I start painting, I don’t know what is going to happen. I just open that space of expression and let the rhythm flow. I surrender to the magic of the creative power that is within myself.

It represents boldness, strength, courage… To me, the concept of awakening and being awake is a daily commitment and is the best way we have to honor our lives and to be alive. Sometimes we need to reshape our paths, and this is a call. A call to “Awakening”, a reminder that we need to embrace what we have and understand that every single day is an opportunity to rise again, to enjoy life. Even if sometimes life comes to us under the shape of darkness, fear, anxiety, or sadness, it is worth being awake rather than numb. 

Awakening takes courage, it means to live your life treasuring every moment, being present, and enjoying it despite every difficulty or hard situation.
