artist statement and inspiration

This painting is about surrendering - in order to receive. Just because surrendering  is soft and feminine, it doesn’t make it weak, it leads to pleasure and ecstasy.

This was inspired when I truly learnt the real meaning and power of femininity. Each one of us have a masculine and feminine within us, which is often suppressed.  

Women feel that they have to be resilient, hard and tough to succeed. As a result, we build a wall around ourselves and our hearts and start to feel unhappy without knowing why.

As I slowly learned the beauty of strength through softness, an incredibly powerful source of energy came deep from within. I slowly found that in surrendering to my fears, I gained newfound strengths underneath. I found boundless love and courage.

‘A complimentary frame does significantly more for a piece of art than just mounting it, it brings out the true colour and impression of the piece to fill the entire room adding elegance and a personal touch of style’

– Alexandra, Founder of Curate International Pte Ltd
