How does this artwork represent healthy human aging? (Artwork Description)
As an artist, I dedicate my work to breaking stereotypes, highlighting positive aging, and advocating for self-care. My paintings portray middle-aged women embracing self-care: dyeing hair, skincare, applying lipstick, and rituals. These artworks celebrate beauty, confidence, and well-being at any age.
I challenge ageist beliefs and societal norms through transformative self-care representations in my art. By showcasing women prioritizing self-care, I inspire viewers to embrace well-being, self-love, and positive self-relationships. Each painting tells a story of empowerment, resilience, and growth through self-care practices, sparking conversations on nurturing oneself and combating ageism with inclusivity.
These 18″ x 24″ acrylic on canvas paintings narrate empowerment and personal growth through self-care. Vibrant colours, intricate details, and dynamic storytelling invite viewers to explore beauty, aging, and self-care intersections, challenging norms and embracing the worth of self-care at any life stage. In a society plagued by ageism and neglect, my art serves as a reminder of self-care’s transformative nature, encouraging well-being, self-love, and vitality regardless of age.
