About the art
Artist statement
Every time you deny your feelings you deny who you truly are. Sometimes we need to throw away all the logic and all the reasoning and just blurt it out, or make a decision. You can say that the fourth book in the Ruthless Paradise series further strengthened my belief in accepting oneself.
Sometimes, behind a cold exterior and a prideful ego, there’s a heart longing to love. Sometimes, behind all the logic and reasoning, we hide the emotions we’re too scared to show. But in doing so, we waste precious time, shed silent tears, and let opportunities slip away.
Not every right decision makes sense logically. Sometimes, the path forward is the one your heart whispers to you, even if your head disagrees. And here’s the truth: trying doesn’t mean committing forever. You can take a chance, follow your heart, and if it doesn’t work out, you’re allowed to step away, to let go, and to start fresh.
Your decisions aren’t endings—they’re beginnings. Each one opens a door to new experiences, growth, and possibilities.
This painting is a call to love—with all your courage, vulnerability, and might. It’s a reminder to embrace yourself fully, to listen to your heart even when it scares you, and to trust that every choice you make is just the beginning of your story.
Title: "True Self"
Dimensions of canvas with borders: 61'' x 41'' or 155 x 105 cm
Dimensions when framed (actual painting): 57'' x 37'' or 145 x 95 cm
The painting has additional 3-4" ( 7-10 cm.) borders around the art for convenient stretching. Additional borders of the canvas are painted so after stretching it can be hung with or without a frame as preferred.
Not stretched. You'll receive it rolled, in a tube. Ready for stretching.
I recommend stretching your painting in a local custom framing shop. It will be the most affordable and easy way for you to get a big stretched canvas.
