"LOUDER" Fine Art print

Louder

I mentioned before that this painting was inspired by listening to "Like Animals." The actual idea for this work came after my recent experience creating my "Eldest Daughter" series.

I decided to explore the theme of "eldest daughter syndrome" based on pop culture examples, my friends' stories, and, of course, my own experiences.

Sharing these paintings and opening up about my story wasn't easy, and unfortunately, I ended up having a few unpleasant conversations with my family. It was a tough lesson, but an important one. I realized that I need to decide what I want to share based on how I feel, not on what others want or don't want to hear.

That’s why I created this painting. Blending "Like Animals" and "Louder Than Bombs" inspired me to create this composition. 

I wanted this painting to be all about expression! Bolder brushstrokes, rich colors, and various emotions. Creating, performing, speaking up, and feeling despite the fear of being judged or having to explain yourself.

“Six feet down in the sand

There’s creatures that made a hole

Do speak, I’m begging you, please;

There’s beauty outside control.”

(BTS “Like Animals”)

“What lies beneath conscious or regulated existence carries a beauty defined precisely by its resistance to manipulation.” ~ claracol

Each member carries a different state of mind and emotion, from desperation to anger to a sense of liberation. We’re allowed to feel everything, voice our concerns, share our stories, and speak freely.

Be true, be bold, be loud

Speak yourself, express yourself

BE LOUDER
