The inspiration behind this painting comes from a place of deep personal hurt that I have carried for a long time. Now, I feel as though I am emerging from that pain, experiencing a sense of rebirth, symbolized by my vivid, colourful palette. The bright colours reflect the contrast between inner struggles and the outward expression of joy - a reminder that even when you’re hurting inside, it’s possible to carry a smile on the outside.
