Acrylic & Markers on Canvas - 70 x 50 x 1.5 CM
 
"Self-Blooming" (2024) is a colorful and whimsical acrylic and marker painting that celebrates the beauty and growth of nature. The central figure, a woman with vibrant green hair, is surrounded by a flourishing garden of flowers. Her hair is intertwined with pink and purple blooms, creating a harmonious and organic connection between her and the natural world. A flower is placed delicately in her mouth, symbolizing both beauty and silence, as she gazes directly at the viewer with large, expressive eyes. The soft pastel background complements the vivid colors of the flowers and leaves, emphasizing the theme of self-expression and natural growth. The flowers, especially around the bottom of the figure, symbolize personal transformation and flourishing, evoking a sense of renewal and vitality. The use of markers adds fine details and outlines, making the flowers and the figure stand out in a bold, graphic manner, creating a joyful and empowering image of self-blooming.
