Empowerment in Expression

In a topsy-turvy world where the norm is often flipped on its head, art becomes a powerful medium to challenge stereotypes and empower individuals. The depiction of femininity in art has undergone a radical transformation over many years, especially in scenarios that traditionally feature men. Imagine a canvas where the strokes of the brush bring to life women in roles of power and defiance, a stark contrast to the delicate damsels of yesteryear's galleries.

Picture this: a woman with a steely gaze, her hand firmly gripping a gun, not as a symbol of violence, but as a metaphor for strength and protection. She stands not to promote aggression, but to challenge the notion that femininity equates to vulnerability. Now, swap that image for one of a woman, leather jacket hugging her frame, as she rides a motorcycle down an open road. The wind in her hair and the roar of the engine beneath her become symbols of freedom and autonomy.

And let's not forget the warrior women, not just the fantastical Valkyries or Amazons of lore, but the everyday warriors. These are the women who battle through the daily grind, who fight for their rights, their voices, and their place in a world that often tries to silence them. They are depicted with swords and shields, yes, but their true strength lies in their unwavering spirit and their relentless pursuit of equality.

Art that showcases women in these empowering roles does more than just flip the script; it rewrites it entirely. It sends a message that femininity is not a one-dimensional trait bound by outdated societal expectations. It is multifaceted, powerful, and unapologetic. It's about time the world sees that femininity can be synonymous with strength, resilience, and rebellion. So, let's keep painting those pictures, riding those motorcycles, and wielding those metaphorical swords. After all, if the world is upside down, maybe it's the perfect time to shake things up a bit more, don't you think? I feel I need to say this because of being accused of portraying woman as violent, maybe in our heads, not really my intent was an artistic one. It might not be for everyone; in fact, I hope it's not. but I do believe I still have the right to express myself. At least I hope so. I did think things were much better but lately I feel I needed to express it.

I am not a youngster and have experienced a lot in life and feel in this upside-down world I still have this right. I hope this is my last revisit on the subject of defending my vision. and I really hope everyone can be ok with this. If not, all I can say is don't buy or even look at it... Kinda like if you don't like something on TV you just turn it off.

Thank you all,
and God Bless
