Painting: Never defeated 100x130 cm / 40x52 in with AR

"Never Defeated" is a powerful visual testament to the resilience of the human spirit, particularly in the face of adversity. This piece, belonging to the The Human (Re)Condition collection, delves into the profound impact of violence and injustice on women, while simultaneously celebrating their unwavering strength and determination.

The central figure is depicted in a moment of both vulnerability and defiance. Her body language, curled inward as if protecting herself, suggests the physical and emotional toll of the experiences she has endured. Yet, her gaze, though obscured, hints at a steely resolve. This tension between fragility and fortitude is central to the painting's message.

The vibrant, yet somewhat chaotic, color palette mirrors the tumultuous nature of the experiences that many women face. The swirling hues create a sense of both beauty and turmoil, symbolizing the complexity of human emotions. The augmented reality component further enhances this dynamic, as the figure seemingly breaks free from the confines of the canvas, emerging into a three-dimensional space. This transition symbolizes the process of healing and empowerment.

Through this artwork, I aim to inspire and empower women worldwide. By showcasing the strength and resilience of the human spirit, I hope to encourage conversations about the challenges faced by women and to advocate for a more just and equitable society. The painting is a tribute to the countless women who have endured unimaginable hardships and yet continue to fight for their rights and dreams. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.
