Look at me now

I created this piece to reflect on the interplay of calm and chaos. The woman, standing firm as balloons swirl around her in the wind, symbolizes serenity and confidence amidst life’s turbulence. Her sunglasses and steady gaze reflect composure and self-assurance, while the movement in her hair, scarf, and surrounding balloons introduces a sense of energy and unpredictability. Using a dynamic range of values and temperature shifts, the painting captures the contrast between stillness and motion, inviting the viewer to find peace within the whirlwind of life's moments.
