The Weight Of Grief, 2023

Size Framed: 51.5cm x 67cm

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Board

Description:

This painting in grayscale and Prussian blue tones depicts a woman who has been knocked down by grief. She is on her knees, her shoulders slumped. The dark colors of the painting reflect the woman’s sadness, while the white doves represent hope and getting up again with some help. The painting is framed in a handmade white poplar wood shadow frame.

Please note that this painting currently forms part of an active exhibition, and will only be shipped during the week of the 4th of September.

This forms part of my series ”The Weight Of It All” – a series of paintings that delve into the struggles with mental health. Born out of a period of grief following the loss of a close friend, these artworks have evolved into a poignant representation of my own journey with mental health over the years, offering viewers a visual glimpse into the intricacies of my mind. I hope to encourage conversations about mental health, challenging stigmas, and fostering a supportive environment for those grappling with their own mental well-being.
