Over the last few weeks, I’ve been dedicating my time to this painting, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The process of creating this piece has served as a significant stress relief for me, allowing me to channel my emotions and thoughts into something tangible.

The central theme I aimed to explore is growth through pain. Everyone faces challenges and struggles at some point in their lives, and these difficulties often feel overwhelming. However, it is through overcoming pain that we experience personal growth and transformation. This painting reflects the idea that growth is a continuous journey—no matter what you’re going through, you’re always evolving and becoming stronger.
