And She Persists
Some artworks come easily.
Others resist.


You begin them with momentum,
and then something stalls.
The canvas remains there, suspended, as if it still refuses to reveal what it carries.


For a long time, this one waited.
Between two states.
Neither abandoned nor revealed.


It required returning.
Looking again.
Erasing. Beginning again.
Searching for what wanted to emerge beneath the layers.


In this piece, everything speaks of persistence.


The textures carry the traces of what was reworked, shifted, transformed.
The colours find their way through the shadows without denying them.
They move forward quietly, yet with determination.
And then there is the gaze.


Open.
Intense.
Impossible to ignore.


As if, after all the hesitation, something finally chose to remain.
To stand there.
To look straight ahead.


Because sometimes persistence is not simply about continuing.
It is about refusing to disappear.


And finally allowing yourself
to fully take your place in the light.
