AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Becoming Her is a powerful celebration of self-expression and transformation. Built with thick, expressive layers of acrylic and mixed media, the figure emerges through bold palette-knife strokes and sculptural texture, creating a surface that feels almost alive.

Vibrant colours collide and harmonise across the canvas, symbolising the many layers of identity, emotion, and growth that shape womanhood. The absence of fine detail allows the viewer to project their own story onto the figure, making the artwork deeply personal and open to interpretation.

The heavy impasto technique gives this piece a strong physical presence, catching light and shadow from different angles, ensuring it changes throughout the day. Becoming Her is not about perfection, but about evolution — a visual reminder that we are always in the process of becoming.

Medium: Acrylic & mixed media
Technique: Heavy impasto with palette knife
Style: Contemporary textured portrait
Finish: varnished
