Acrylic on Wood
24" x 48"
 
"Show Yourself" is a bold fusion of painting and woodworking, embodying my inspiration, values, and artistic journey. This piece is a reflection of self-expression—an invitation to step into authenticity and embrace one's creative identity.
 
The structured composition juxtaposes discipline and spontaneity, with the natural wood grain grounding the piece in raw authenticity. The fluid black strokes symbolize movement, individuality, and artistic freedom, cutting across the composition with purpose and confidence. The earthy green circles represent awareness, perspective, and gratitude—a reminder to remain present, to see beyond the surface, and to appreciate the journey. Meanwhile, the vibrant yellow beams introduce energy and direction, symbolizing ambition and the pursuit of growth.
 
By merging painting with woodworking, this series pushes beyond traditional boundaries, incorporating depth and texture to create a multi-dimensional experience. "Show Yourself" is not just a title—it’s a challenge to be seen, to express without hesitation, and to embrace the full spectrum of one’s creative truth.
