Nonconforming, 2025
30x40 inches
Oil on Canvas
This painting explores the theme of sexuality and its impact on my personal journey, with vibrant colors playing a central role in expressing emotion. The interplay of warm yellows and reds against the cooler blues and dark hues symbolizes the tension between struggle and self-acceptance. The sporadic composition mirrors the nonlinear nature of sexuality, filled with moments of clarity and uncertainty. Through this piece, I aimed to convey the transformative power of embracing one’s identity and the light that emerges from within.
