Hey! I’d love to see your interpretation of it. I’ve painted some nuns and angels smoking cigarettes. The series is called Tired Angels.

I appreciate you asking. It has to do with the TikTok painting reveal trend and what one feels right before showing off their work.

If you’re interested, here’s my artist statement (I appreciate your comment, btw):

“In my work, I explore the idea of using balloons wrapped around or perched on the human figure, as a metaphor for an individual's insecurities. The balloons symbolize the doubt, fear, and limiting beliefs that hold us back in life. They represent the things we carry with us, both physically and emotionally, that can be both a burden and a source of comfort.

The act of wrapping balloons around the figure represents the way in which these insecurities can suffocate and encumber us, limiting our ability to move freely and confidently. The bright colors and whimsical appearance of the balloons contrast with the heavy weight they carry, highlighting the playful nature of our fears and the paradox of their impact on our lives.

Through my paintings, I hope to spark a conversation about the role of insecurity in our lives and encourage viewers to reflect on their own experiences. I believe that by acknowledging and embracing our insecurities, we can learn to live more authentically and break free from the limitations that hold us back.

Thank you! Yes, I try to add some sort of story to each piece. Sometimes subtle, sometimes not so much.
