"When describing her painting, an Expressionist says 'I saw this, I lived this.' Because an Expressionist does not paint what he has not internalized. Therefore, Expressionism values personal statements. Impressive instantaneous rhythmic brushstrokes, enthusiastic use of color, formal and color contrasts, and impressive figures created with complementary colors that create a strong visual feast. The adventure of this painting, which started in life as a strong sacrifice and a visually delicious victim, has changed and transformed over the years, gaining a strong inner enthusiasm, passion and meaning with the courage and determination to internalize it in the artist's consciousness. She defines the "Warrior" as a free figure who has an existential stance in harmony with the aura and life around her, with her view of her primitive nature and interiority, the expressive meaning of warrior, and who succeeds in "being herself". According to the artist, "Warrior" is the state of being in the moment, aware, centered, awakened, intuitive, "being yourself", completely freely "being as it is" by taking your own inner strength, value, love from yourself. Being yourself in a world that works day and night to make you different from others means fighting the hardest battle in the world. Once this war has begun, It never ends anymore... E.E. Cummings In this vibrant oil painting, I poured my soul into creating a visual anthem of resilience and raw power. The brushstrokes dance with expressionistic fervor, harnessing the wild energy of fauvist color. It's a figurative celebration, a primitive connection between the human spirit and nature's untamed essence. This piece will imbue any space with a dynamic presence, an invitation to embrace the transformative journey of the warrior within.
