Gamayuna - Selfportrait. Full Moon

Acrylic, gold leaf, and markers on canvas 40×44′′ (101×111 cm), 2017
In these words, I’ve bared my soul completely. I am akin to a bird, with a face like the full moon, bearing numerous facets as an artist, a human being, a woman, a mother, and a creator. I possess both fragility and generosity, and I muster the strength to navigate life’s currents. My hands are open, ready to embrace and shield. I have the gift of receiving and the heart to give. It’s as if the hands of the divine always watch over both you and me.
