Soul Portrait

In “Soul Portrait,” My self-portrait at age 19, painted on an 80 by 100 inch canvas using a blend of oil and acrylic, I set out to capture the essence of my youth an acknowledgment that time is fleeting and that I will grow older. The vibrant spectrum of colors surrounding me reflects the energies of my chakras in perfect alignment, with each hue flowing from within, representing the depth of my emotions, senses, and spirit.

The green of my heart chakra, adorned with a cherished jade necklace, symbolizes love and connection. My bunny, beside me, embodies the third eye chakra, resonating with her own emotional depth and intuition. The chakras are more than symbols they’re energy pathways that connect me to the canvas, allowing me to channel my full range of emotions and outer energy into the artwork.

The aura surrounding me, brought to life in radiant colors, represents my spiritual essence, making the invisible visible to those who can sense it. Through this painting, I embrace the vulnerability of my naked form, expressing no shame in how my body looks, celebrating its natural beauty and strength. This is a moment of youth, captured before time takes its course, where I honor the body I inhabit as a reflection of my soul.

By painting myself in the mirror, I fused my inner and outer worlds, portraying my aura and chakras as integral parts of my being balanced, aligned, and vibrant. “Soul Portrait” is both a spiritual and physical reflection of my essence at this pivotal stage in life, an intimate expression of self, fully connected to the universe around me.
