My Heart Will Go On is a deeply personal and cathartic work, created during a tumultuous time both externally and internally. Painted amidst the chaos of a hurricane in Florida, the piece reflects the emotional storm of leaving an emotionally abusive relationship and the beginning of reclaiming one’s sense of self. It marks a pivotal moment in the artist’s journey, a realization of their identity and calling as a painter.
The composition radiates raw emotion, with vivid strokes of red, blue, yellow, and white cascading like tears across the figure’s face. The subject’s closed eyes suggest introspection, resilience, and a longing for peace, while the expressive textures and vibrant colors symbolize both pain and renewal. The fragmented layers evoke the process of breaking free, healing, and finding light amidst the darkness.
This painting captures the profound strength it takes to move forward, to persevere through the storm, and to rediscover one’s heart and purpose. My Heart Will Go On is not only a reflection of survival but also a celebration of the transformative power of art in turning pain into beauty.
