"Brave Not Perfect" is a mixed media abstract artwork on paper with collages of acrylic cutouts, that deals with the concept of bravery over perfection. As a mother of a daughter and a son, the artist infuses the piece with the heartfelt desire to instill in both her children the courage to take on challenges and pursue their dreams, regardless of societal expectations, or self-doubt. With cutout abstract forms that vaguely remind of figures amid air, with the intent to dive or take off, and a boat perhaps going to sail or sink, the artwork tries to capture the essence of embarking on the fundamental journeys towards personal growth and self-discovery.

As a multidisciplinary artist and documentary filmmaker, I’ve always been attracted to the inner landscapes of human beings, exploring themes of cultural hybridity, psychology, and spirituality. Having lived among complex and conflictual worlds, my work reflects diverse cultural influences and a personal exploration of identity, belonging and freedom. My paintings are characterised by bold and vibrant colour choices, employing multiple media and materials, like the diverse fabrics of societies I inhabit. As a result of this identity tapestry, I became interested in the transcendental, and how we can arrive from the material to the immaterial, where perhaps we can find more things in common than the conflictual realities we live in.
