This is a mixed media artwork on a 12×12 inch canvas. It celebrates strength, softness, and the power of being seen just as you are. This knee-up portrait features a plus-size woman standing tall in a fitted, sleeveless blue outfit that hugs her curves with confidence.
Her dark hair is accented with soft yellow highlights, adding warmth and a sense of movement. Surrounding her are delicate flowers in soft peach and rich blue. These blooms don’t just decorate, they amplify her quiet strength and presence. The background features organic layers of turquoise, pale blue, and yellow that flow gently around her. As a result, the entire piece feels alive and centered at once.
To begin this piece, I applied layers of paper and gesso to create rich texture. Then, I used stencils to form subtle patterns. These patterns offer rhythm and structure while leaving space for freedom. Over those base layers, I added acrylic inks mixed with water. This allowed the colors to move freely, blending into one another like emotions unfolding on the canvas.
Although the composition is gentle, the message is bold. She doesn’t hide. She takes up space with grace. Her presence is both grounded and luminous. Every element; the textures, colors, and florals; works together to tell a story of self-trust, resilience, and becoming.
