I've been through a lot of pain over the last four years. I've seen people die, and I've lost three people who are very close to me and many friends. I moved to a country where, at the age of 39, I had to start my journey all over again without a language, all by myself, without the help of money support. That's when I started drawing. This picture reflects my emotional inner state. It's about a woman's inner strength, which is given to us by nature, about overcoming obstacles, about the path to a dream and how not to turn away from the path. This painting symbolizes the difficult thorny path to your dream and emotional balance. The girl's figure is a woman, she has overcome the agony of all the sufferings and trials of life, she is beautiful and resolutely goes forward to her dream, leaving everything superfluous behind. I want every girl, girl, and woman looking at my painting to say, "I'll overcome everything, I believe in myself."
