IDEA/CONCEPT
This piece represents the eternal strength and resilience of art, history, and femininity. The classical figure, inspired by Greco-Roman sculptures, raises her arm in a triumphant motion, symbolizing empowerment and the rise of new creative forces. The fragmented background of geometric shapes and bold graffiti textures contrasts with her timeless beauty, illustrating the ongoing evolution of artistic expression—where the past fuels the future. The cracks on her form remind us that even broken things can stand tall, transformed by time but never erased.
EXECUTION & PROCESS
The piece was constructed through meticulous layering, starting with a finely detailed rendering of the statue to maintain the realism and elegance of ancient sculpture. Vibrant splashes of magenta, orange, and blue were incorporated to create a striking contrast, enhancing the dynamic tension between tradition and urban street culture. Graffiti strokes, abstract geometric fragments, and distressed textures were added to suggest movement and transformation, making the figure appear as if she is emerging from the urban chaos into a new era of artistic expression.
PERSONAL REFLECTION
Art is never static—it rises, reinvents, and reclaims space. This piece is a testament to resilience, a fusion of classical ideals and contemporary expression, reminding us that history is not behind us; it is within us, waiting to rise again.
