“I Am Here” is a bold declaration of presence and resilience after 18 years away from painting. Vibrant reds, yellows, and greens burst across the canvas, contrasting with dark shadows that speak of past struggles and fears. The abstract composition flows with raw energy, symbolizing the release of perfectionism and the rediscovery of self-expression. This piece invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys, offering a message of hope: that even through challenges, there is light, creativity, and the power to embrace the present moment fully.
Created on Canvas with Acrylic, 2022.
After 18 long years of silence—years spent grappling with an inability to paint—I stood before the canvas once again, uncertain and vulnerable but compelled to create. The title, “I Am Here,” felt like a declaration, not just to the world but to myself. The vibrant reds, yellows, and greens seemed to burst forth instinctively, unplanned yet undeniably purposeful. Each brushstroke was raw, an unfiltered expression of the struggles, growth, and rediscovery that had brought me to this moment.
The composition tells a story of resilience. Shadows, rendered in bold, dark strokes, speak of the weight I carried during those years of creative quiet—the doubt, the perfectionism, the fear of not being “enough.” But the brightness—the fiery reds and illuminating yellows—cut through those shadows with unrelenting energy, a visual promise of perseverance and hope. As I painted, I let instinct take over, abandoning any need for realism or recognizable form. In this abstraction, I found my truth: I was present. I was alive. I was here.
This piece invites viewers to step into that journey with me. It asks them to reflect on their own moments of struggle and breakthrough, their own transformations when faced with uncertainty. The bold colors and dynamic movement ignite a sense of urgency, a reminder that being here—fully, unapologetically—is a triumph. Through “I Am Here,” I hope viewers find encouragement to face their own shadows, embrace imperfections, and rediscover the vibrant essence of their existence.
