This artwork is part of my new experimentation and reflection.
As with all my pieces, there’s always a subtle interpretation of my personal journey.
Each of us has a bright and beautiful side we want to share with others. But often, that sparkling surface hides deeper feelings and emotions. For me, it’s always been important to stay joyful and present in my friends’ lives. Yet, in recent years, I haven’t been able to fully live up to that.
I’ve often presented myself as strong, direct, and independent, while secretly hiding a deep sorrow that was consuming me. I wore that diva mask, the one that made people believe I had it all together, when in truth I was afraid to admit that even strong people can suffer.
At some point, I started to feel ashamed of that diva side. People often assumed I never struggled, that I wasn’t serious enough, or that I was somehow never “enough.” I began silencing my vibrant, playful energy, trying to tone down the very part of me that made me, me. That’s when sadness quietly took over.
Eventually, I lost that diva character completely and sank into a sadder version of myself, forgetting what joy and light felt like. I closed myself off, both emotionally and socially.
Now, I feel I’m getting there… finding a balance, revealing my true self: still sparkling, yet grounded, deep, and emotional. I’ve learned to simply be, and to let my inner diva embrace every side of me.
